A lot of them no longer have points. They just spark with every rotation of the flywheel, whenever the magnet on the flywheel goes past the coil. I place a sheet of braille paper between the coil and flywheel. Seems to work good. numbers are usually located on the fan shroud. Michael

Where would be a good place to start for a gap between the magneto and the fly wheel. Or does it run the gammit from engine to engine. Also if I need to dig further, what should the points be gapped at? I have not had the fly wheel off of this engine so as far as I know maybe they have done away with points by the time this engine was built. I have no idea how old the engine is and it is not the origanl engine so if I nne to find numbers where would the most commen places be to look? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
