Default Re: Timing?

Use your volt meter to trace the voltage from the coil. You should be getting battery voltage at the moveable point when the points are open (or a piece of paper is inserted). If not, work backwards to see where there is an open circuit or a short.

There are lots of instructions and youtube videos on the internet about how to set the points and the timing.
