Re: Ignition coil for Lauson twin

[JOHN D.]

To check timing, first set points to 0.020" and clean, remove one cylinder head. Turn crankshaft over slowly clockwise until breaker arm just starts to open. At this point the piston should be 5/32" from the top face of the cylinder.
If ignition is out of time, loosen the two screws holding the magneto starter in place. Move the stator assembly right or left until the points start to open with 5/32nds from the top face of the cylinder. Tighten the two screws. Be careful and you can reuse the old head gasket. I don’t know where you can buy a new one if your’s get broken.
