I recently purchased. The woodruff key was sheared under the flywheel. New points are installed my question is do I need to worry about the the timing as the the magneto cam is keyed. Or do I just set the point gap?

Point gap determines the timing.----Now if you want to do a first class job you can use a meter and timing marks to set the points to open at the exact time to get maximum spark.----Many U-TUBE videos explain this simple procedure.

here you go..

IF you have no meter you can just do this with a automotive light bulb and battery

Meters are dirt cheap...borrow one or go amazon some are 15$

some just rotate the FW so the cam is at the highest point then set the gaps at .020
