As soon as it starts to drop watch timing hole. Rotate slowly untill the advance mark for the front cylinder is centered in the hole. It should be a single vertical line. Now losen the mag bolts slightly and remove the cap. Unhook the wires going to the points. When looking down on the points (like you are sitting on the seat) the narrow lobe should be just to the left of the points rubbing block. Use a multi meter and put one lead on the points where the wires hook to and another to a ground. Set it on ohms so you can read resistance or continuity so you can hear the beep. Now slowly rotate the mag counter clockwise untill the points break continuity and lock it down.As for the points gap, that spec has to be measured on both lobes. They are supposed to be equal. And you set this first before setting the timing. (( bobber58 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1430139)) | + | |Forget all about the marks on the mag.
