Re: 1932 Johnson K-50 Points Adjustment

[Buccaneer]

Squire, thanks for reminding me about the marks……. I think
you mentioned them when I was working on the A-80.
I’ll have to look and see if I have them.
My flywheel only has the one hole.
My biggest problem is getting the points to move to my
liking through that hole…….. usually not enough,
or too much, lol.
At least it looks like I have good spark, so I"m off to
a good start.

Update- reset the points using the timing marks
and my buzz box, which was simple to set up
using the kill switch terminals in the mag plate handle.
Got the points set to fire 180 deg. apart on crank rotation
now. Before, by just setting both points at .020, the
flywheel traveled a quarter inch past one timing mark
before that cylinder’s points started to open.
The first set of points I set at 020, and the second
set ended up about .025 to get the ignition timing synchronized.
Hopefully that’s close enough?

Prepare to be boarded!
