Honda Dream CA77 305 Points and Timing Walk-Through

[LOUD MOUSE]

Works don't it?!. ....................lm

Did I miss using a timing light while the engine was running?. .........lm

I only detailed static timing...maybe one day I'll get a timing light and do that too?

yes very nice explanation for points but what about the condenser?? How do you get this out and replaced without major surgery?? any ideas will be greatly appreciated

I was adjusting the timing using the light bulb method, and the motor backfired without it running. Any thoughts on why or how that could happen?

Hey I teach a class where I am explaining how the points / timing works. But something I don't know is WHY do the contacts of the points need to be at 0.014"? Why can't 0.015 work? Or 0.013?

Thanks

That is the measurement HONDA recommends. ......................lm
