[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 649462, member: 27963"] points are generally set at the thickness of a match book cover, .015" to .018", .015 for used. make sure there is no corrosion/crud keeping the points from springing shut,if the points are floating it will affect high rpm power. Also make sure that the rubbing block of the points is cleaned and has fresh grease on it too keep it from wearing closing the gap up ,just a small dab will do. Keep in mind that as points wear not only does change the coils ability to saturate< abiltiy to make high voltage spark> but it will change your timing slightly. check all wiring for cracks in the insulation and corrosion in the conections including grounds You might want to also check the screen on your fuel petcock. although I doubt it has much to do with your problem. If you are starving for fuel at high rpm from the tank I doubt turning on the choke is going to help when the float bowl is empty but it is worth a shot . Make sure the air filter didnt dry rot corrosion,dust ,grime, dry rot and small animals making a nest are the only things that can go wrong to a machine if it is just setting, [/QUOTE]
