It is MUCH preferable to set points by TIMING, but even if you do not have a timing tool, you can CHECK timing with the flywheel. Most wheels have an opening to set the points, and if you are tricky, you can get a test probe in there on the points connection to electrically verify the points opening. If the engine has the primary wires brought out to a kill switch, then that job is easier. I even scribe the wheels on 34/ 40HP engines so I can extend the timing marks out and see what I'm doing, as the marks on them are under the bottom of the wheel.
Thanks for the video
Great video, what position is the throttle supposed to be in? Do you have to set the cam in a specific position to start out?
