As suggested in a different post, I got hold of a digital dwell meter to set the points gap on my 1977 XS650D.

I set the Meter to 4-Cyl Dwell and connected it up - black lead to ground and red lead to the points wire. Fired up the bike and the digital readout jumped around a lot from about 17 to 35 but I noticed a somewhat regular reading of 24 or thereabouts. Is it normal for the readings to jump around like this or am I doing something wrong?
