Reply To: setting points on small omc

[JACQUES]

throtlle position does not matter since  the points will (should)  always open up when the high spot of the the cam lobe  is reached. the video is explicit

you can use  a  piezo buzzer (stops when points open)   you can use a common bulb and battery (turns off  when the points open) oryou can use a VOM  which will show infinite resistance from the  air gap) when points open.

.020 is the usal setting when done visually on the high point of the cam lobe but what is more critical is to OPEN at TDC causing the spark on the plug.
