He is the man when it comes to the Eltos.
For what it may be worth I’ll offer what I believe your issue may be.
What I suspect is that your points are vibrating and making contact
when the shouldn’t. The crack in your timer case and gas tank
demonstrate how much these motors do vibrate.
The first thing I look for as far as the points is some tension against
the latch. If there is none or the points aren’t touching the latch at all
the points and the latch could be moving when the motor is running
causing the points to close when the shouldn’t.
In your picture it looks like the points may not be touching the latch?
.
Then I also want to have tension where the two springs come
together for the same reason. If there isn’t any tension or it is
floating free not making contact when it should is possible as well.
If I find that there isn’t any tension or the springs aren’t touching at
all, I slide a wall paper knife in between them and wiggle it a little
bit to get the tension back.
.
Then I loosen the 2 screws and set the gap.
He has had way more of these than I have, or ever will have, so what
he suggests must work for him. Use you best judgment.
