Re: What are Breaker Points Tipped With?

[jeff-register]

I prefer to remove then take the points set apart then wire wheel the points contact area. Next I inspect the assembly. I use a butter knife in a vice to wrap the blade with 1000 wet & dry sandpaper, then sand as little as possable to get a nice contact mating. Next I use a cap full of acetone & Q tips to clean the assembly. I lube the pivot point being sure not to get too much lube, then add a very small section of lube behind the cam rubbing block to lube as it spins. Then I use my ohm meter to check for no resistance between the contact surfaces. I enjoy building the magneto so I may go a little overboard doing the process.
