[QUOTE="OLD CT, post: 180849, member: 464"] Points cannot be adjusted/set with the flywheel off. The ''points cam'' that opens the points is on the flywheel. The only time you need to remove the flywheel, is when you are installing new parts. You remove the sparkplug, turn the flywheel ''counterclockwise only'' till you line up the T on it with the notch in the case and make sure the piston is at ''top dead center'' with a small screwdriver into the plug hole. Now you can see the points thru the slot in the flywheel, there is a screw that you loosen and set the points with a feeler gauge. .012 to .016 16 is better as the points rubbing block wears and the gap gets smaller, not bigger, closing the points even more. It's a good time to buy a manual if you do not have one and or watch some videos on the topic. [/QUOTE]
