They can be set to fire at 180

They can be set to fire at 180 degrees using the timing marks on the flywheel and magplate for peak performace of the magneto.For the average person setting them at 0.020" is OK.

Set the points as follows. Have the flywheel key aligned with the fiber rubber portion of the ignition points. Adjust the gap so that a .020 gauge will pass thru but a .022 will not. Should there be any question of the points being dirty (touching the contact with your finger would cause them to be dirty), clean them with a small brush and acetone or lacquer thinner.

NOTE: Should the operating cam have a small portion on it with the word "SET" imprinted, align this portion with the fiber rubbing portion instead of the flywheel key.

"As long as the powerhead to adapter plate or exhaust housing matches up, you should encounter no problems. The mating gasket should tell the tale."
