Title says it all, I am putting new points coils etc, in my motor, and I need to know what the proper torque is for the flywheel nut when I put it back on. Thanks.

Thank you very much. I've had to have that thing off and on several times already, as a result of the coils on this motor mounting just a little different than most that I read about. The ends of the coil dont sit out flush with the mounting boss, they sit back even with the top edge of the 45 degree angle thats on the top edge of the mounting boss. After I finally found that out I got the motor running again pretty quick. Still has several more problems I've found since though. The project never ends.
