The prescribed way to set these points is to place the timer lever all the way to the extreme right (lever handle over port-side cylinder) then remove the cover off the rear of the timer housing. Set the point gap at 0.022″ (twenty-two thousands). Position of the pistons doesn’t matter, you just need to make sure the points are open 0.022″ when the flywheel is rotated. That is what is in the operator instruction booklet that I have. Hope this helps.
