im confused, when setting points, should the throttle be in the wot or idle position? i have this off idle issue still. so off with the flywheel to reset the points. what i found was the points were way off.
i used the ohm meter method. i pulled the coils disconnected the condensers and used the kill wires to test the points. at idle one of the points were near the mark, but the other was way off. when i went wot the test was reversed.
i set the points in the wot position (ok?) vs at idle. the alignment marks are rather strange. the lower throttle cam has two marks, flywheel has a pointed arrow, followed by a line. i lined up the line to the throttle cam marks. motor does run but i still cant get it to idle less than 600-700 with out dying. when the throttle is to the shift mark it dies. i believe the motor should run / idle when the butterfly on the carb is closed?
question wot or idle? when setting points.
thank you very much
