Re: Ignition Tune-up Kit
It's purpose is to hold and despense lubricant for the points. If yours is not in good condition, you may be able to fit a new one to the wick holder. It is made of a peice of heavy felt. But if yours is in good shape and still makes contact with the cam, then feel free to reuse it.<br /><br />Normally, they're just saturated with oil. But like you said, the manual says to simply replace them rather than re-oiling them. I assume they say that because the felt eventually wears out. I suppose rather than supply a wick, the aftermarket points come with some high quality grease that ought to stay on the cam without the aid of the wick. But I put that stuff on the wick too.
