Re: Elto Super A points

Hi Phil,

If I read this correctly, yours is the type with normal looking points and no coil on the "mag plate". If not, ignore the rest of this post.

The points have a long arm with a fiber button that rides on a cam on the flywheel. If so, it’s likely that someone bent the point arm trying to install the flywheel. (they installed the flywheel such that the motor was at TDC relative to the timer. Bendix had this problem, too. Check to see if the arm is bent downward at all.
Then check to see that with the flywheel installed, that the cam rider is up far enough on the cam. This may be tricky, since that flywheel is closed on top.
