went to install my new points last nite,and ran into a little problem.
installed points for 1-4 and went to set gap,turned engine over by hand(plugs out),and the points wont close.
smallest gap I could achieve was approximately 40 thousandths.
so for now i put the old points back in.
any ideas as to why this is happenning?
the only difference I can see right off is that the piece that rubs the cam lobe is rounded on the end,and a bit longer than the ones that
were in the bike.
i purchased these points from the dealership so they should be right but arent.
really need to replace the points, 1-4 is the factory set from 1972,2-3 is a set that 71Chop installed at his house in '04-'05 used.
any help would be appreciated.
