I haven’t had an XS or any other bike with points for years. Is setting points on an XS always such a pain?
I’ve set the gaps but it’s difficult to be 100% sure with feeler gauges as the points stay open for ages, and it isn’t easy to see the highest point on the points cam.
I’m not sure my new Chinese points are the best too, one set wasn’t going to earth when closed until I filed them. Even now I’m not sure if the spring is up to the job.
I’ve set the static timing but the bottom set of points seems to vary as it gets to the F mark. The top set seems fine.
Can anyone tell me what the dwell angle should be for a D model?
