He said points. Not plugs.

The .020" points gap that the kohler manual says is almost never the correct gap. Basically to set you points correctly, you don't even worry about what the gap is. The only thing that matters is that the points open at the correct time which is when the timing mark hits the "S" on the flywheel. To do this, you need a multimeter. The leads need to measure the resistance through the points. If the flywheel is not on or just past the "S" mark then you should have no resistance. What you want is when the "S" mark hits the timing mark, you want some resistance to just start showing. That means your points are opening at the "S" mark which is correct. And as I previously said, the gap means nothing.

New plug, tried to time it about 20 times, finally went out and got alligators and hooked them up, saw the 0 to infinity change, was perfect. S was right in the sight hole.

So i got to drive it around a little bit. I welded myself up a hitch for my winch and was able to pull my subaru wagon uphill towards the garage without me on the tractor =)


:BangPC:

The weird thing is that I cannot even explain in words how that needed to be. I guess writing the process down is without a doubt terribly difficult. I applaud Matt for what he has written down. I would offer to give some clarifications, maybe not when the laptop is on my chest at midnight

Congrats on getting it running again.

I totally agree, it's a great feeling, getting a cub going again!
