Start with this. Point gap will vary. This is how I set mine.

Is that a statement or a question? Spark belongs at the plug, not the points. If your looking for spark there, your looking in the wrong place.

Heck with points. Heres whatchya do...

You will need 480 3phase for this 1.

Hook line 1 to the block.

Hook line 2 to the spark plug

Hook the wild leg to the negative side of your coil.

Turn the key to "On"

Throw the disconnect and it will run like a streak of lighting.

If that doesn't work i have no idea what will:bigthink:

Yup. I needed that after work tonight!!!!lmao only problem is now I'm curious

Spark plug has spark. Huh, I'm seeing spark at points? Maybe that's what's wrong?

Points
 

COINMAN66 I am not the expert here but yes you will have spark as points open and close with key on and no you do not have to push or pull any thing just rotate engine [with key off ] till points gap is greatest adjust to 0.20 this is close enough that engine will run unless you have other problems. GOOD LUCK!!! CURT

Thanks all. I got her running again! Appreciate all the help! Except, seems like it gets hot and when I shut it off it backfired a little. During restoration maybe I shouldn't have painted cooling fins on top of engine head?

No you shouldn't have, better get it off

Oh great. Always something.

Gapping the points is not how we set them. We :beatdeadhorse: about this all the time. We are trying to avoid telling people to gap points. That is why we have all the info on how to set timing.


You have bigger problems than paint on the head. More than likely you are running too lean, and if you didn't follow the directions given in this thread on how to time the engine, then your timing is off. Did you or did you not set the timing? Have you tuned your carb? And I don't mean set it to the starting point that the book gives..... did you TUNE it?
