check freds guide, it gives a method using thin paper. get an ohm meter (multimeter), you can find one for under $10 and they are real handy
Fred's guide with the thin paper procedure is located at: http://www.mopedriders.org/article_view.php?faq=2&fldAuto=8
Excellent red digital multi-meters are often on sale at Sears for $10.

it should have an adjustment allowing a tiny rotation of the stator plate,which holds the points. Probably 2 screws.
Set the point gap first and then the timing. don-ohio
You can use a continuity light instead of a meter if you have one. Attach the same as a meter. it lights when points close, and goes out when the points open.
Thanks y'all! I think the Fred's guide is exactly what I'm looking for. I just had to change a starter cable on my girlfriend's moped and have ended up exploring much farther than expected! Fix one thing mess up another! ha!
