Ah ha! Thanks for making me recheck! No visible arcing at the points when I used the drill, but I hadn’t bothered to just look in the thing while it ran under its own power! Sure enough….sparks.I’m an idiot, but I can be taught…..maybe.

I finally went and bought a timing light for working on this build, and…what is even happening here? Points gap was set to 0.4mm, timing to 14 degrees BTDC. Under the timing light this thing is bouncing all over the place. Not missing a woodruff key, any ideas?

My understanding is that due to the design, this clutch can't really bend under thick springs. Maybe I'll swap out

I set it by attaching a multimeter to the outputs of the points. Using the continuity setting, I rotated the flywheel. It beeps when the contacts are closed, so the point in rotation when that beep stops indicates when the points are opened. It's the most accurate way I know of to set initial timing.Having said that, Ken is saying the timing light method is needed, as it's different when

D’oh! Yep, typo. I meant 0.4mm, about 16 thou.

Hi all,I've just rebuilt my Puch E50 engine with a TCCD kit. It fires up okay, but I am bad at the tuning part. Please have mercy on my soul. Any help is appreciated.
