Reply To: Problems gapping points on QD-19

OK, this is an interesting approach. I have always set the point timing with all the leads disconnected from the points…But, just reconnecting those leads and tightening the screw can affect the gap/timing slightly… Doing this procedure with the leads connected, using the slightly higher reading when the points open, is easier and more accurate, provided you have a good ohm meter that can read low values accurately.
Is there a reason you don’t have the little wire clips on the points? Perhaps you just didn’t get to it yet….
