chivic Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I'm trying to set the timing on my 616 and I'm not having any luck. It started running ruff and after some investigating I found the points to be loose. I cleaned those up and regapped them, but that didn't help. I thing decided to try to set the timing. I thought I could get it running and slide the points box until I got it to run smooth. First thing I found was the points box was loose also.Anyway, I loosened the box, but it only moves about an 1/8 of an inch, total movement back and forth. I also realized I was losing the ground for the points when I loosened the box. I was going to try and put a timing light on it, but I can't tell which blade on the flywheel to use. I know someone here has done this before. I was working with JP on this a little. I hate to keep picking on him.:D:D Any help would be greatly appreciated Norm
