Thanks all! I am not the original owner of this bike so I'm doing a good shakedown, even just finished making that custom airbox for it in another post.
But back to this:
Scirocco -> right the timing mark is where it should be lining up, so on my bike it is really far behind in my opinion.
SWest -> where is this spring?
650ed -> the manual I believe doesn't go into detail on adjusting the points themselves, so (if the points were still good and not worn down) how would one get them to line up right? Adjusting that bending 'tab'?
All, I noticed they do not hit eachother flush which I knew wasn't good (you should see it from the top...they're angled! like this \| )
Also the manual states to buy a new contact breaker if the points look worn. Should I try cleaning it first? I couldn't tell that they looked worn down.
Thanks again.
