Fitting new points to my 2002 500 Bullet kick start. So should be straight forward? " set points gap to 15 thou at the widest opening on the cam". Yes, done that. Done it before several times over the years on my 350. BUT... when the heel meets the flat part of the cam ( points close, dwell angle phase) well, the points do not close, meet!
Never experienced this before.
Had to compromise and set gap on the cam soon after the end of the points closed period.
Anyone had this, is it normal?
Seems a bit random.
Can the cam be worn?
Engine does run OK, but this is still bugging me.
Probably over thinking this as usual, but it doesn't make sense.
