[QUOTE="Gary, post: 185652, member: 288"] Well you should never use sandpaper to work on points - it leaves behind grit which in-beds into the surface of them causing problems. There are files made for that use called ignition point file. It is my understanding that today since very few engines use points anymore that rather than using solid tungsten for the contacts they have switched to tungsten plated ones which if you file you remove that plating. Probably a good idea to use genuine Honda sets if you can get them,my original set on my 50 went with out any adjustments up until the 90's when it needed a valve job anyway. [/QUOTE]
