I have the factory procedure for the timing and setting of those points. It’s been years since I’ve seen it but will look for it this week.
Attn: Eltoquad, I found some old information on setting the points from
one Jim Ross. The info didn’t mention a gap, but I ended up increasing
it a little, so it was near .020.
==========================
This timer is different from all the others in that the timer is doubling for the off or kill switch.
The steel sleeve which is pressed onto the crankcase neck and secured by a pin is an eccentric
and is made off center and when is over the left cylinder the points are to far apart to make contact.
When just forward of center over the right Cyl. you will make contact. There is raised part of the
Timer on the left side of the timer collar with a point, you line this up with a mark on the crankcase
collar or on the crankcase below it. With the timer cover removed you will find a point adjustment
with a tiny screwdriver slot in it, you loosen the lock nut and adjust the points from the side.

======================
I found the timing marks Jim mentioned. The timer handle needed to be in the 4:30 ish position
for the marks to like up.
The timing marks….. raise vee on the timer body, and punch mark on the crankcase boss.
Prepare to be boarded!
