How to set and adjust Ignition Points ( 1977 Yamaha XS750 ) - Rick's Garage ep. 25

**edit - Hi Everyone - specific to 6:45 - to advance the timing, the plate is rotated in the opposite direction of the engine rotation - to retard the timing, the plate is rotated with the engine rotation- sorry guys!**

Hello Everyone!
Whether you grew up with them, or you're just getting into classic engines, you're going to come across ignition points at one time or another!
A purely mechanical ignition trigger system is made up a lot of components that have to work together properly in order for your engine to run.

This video will guide you through a quick run down of how to set the initial timing on your points in order to get your motor running so you can fine tune everything with a timing light.



For those that read the description - Don't worry - Miss Vicky will be back next episode!!

Hope you all enjoy and as always, thank you for watching!
