stupid question?- points setting please!

philby

sorry guys- this is a stupid question Embarassed

i know- but can someone please give me the contact breaker (points) setting for my 650-...its a 477 motor with a starter (if that helps at all!). the old girl seems to only be firing on 1 cylinder in the mornings(& its definately not cold here!) this morning i dropped the plugs out and noticed one was very wet. i wiped over the points with wetndry and noticed one set were opening more than the other....i must have dislodged abit of s*** off them as then she started ok....(if i adjust the points correctly it may help. on singles i always just used a hacksaw blade- maybe the 650 is more tempramental?)....thanks guys....

477 is probably tx650 breaker points are set at 0.3 - 0.45 mm (0.012 - 0.018 in.) sparkplug gap 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 -0.028 in.) set the right side #1 first (moves with whole plate), then #2 with the small movable sub plate
