I replaced the coils, condensers, points, spark plug wires, and reinstalled the magneto on the power head while using one of Ben Ditmar’s videos as a reference. All went well, until…I was using my “timing tool” (from Richard’s Tools) to adjust the points and I found that I am not able to make the points contact one another at all (for the top cylinder). I started thinking the eccentric screw was worn…doesn’t look like it. I also tried moving the breaker base assembly CCW to make the points contact…still no contact. Could the breaker arm assembly be not made at the correct angle? I am using a Sierra 18-5006 tune-up kit. Any thought and/or suggestions?
