Setting the points is easy if you first remove the spring under the cam and then place the cam back on the crank. When it comes time to put the flywheel back on, reinstall the spring and the cam with the word ‘TOP’ facing up. Then the crank must be rotated so the high point of the cam is centred between the rubbing blocks of the points. Make sure the cam is clear of the rubbing blocks by first pushing it down with your fingers before installing the flywheel. Failure to do this can or will result in damaged points.
