1956 Mark 25 Point setting.

[I B Dead Eye]

What is the point setting on a 1956 Mark 25? I believe I remember 20 thousand but that's 50 years ago.

Here's a page from the owner's manual, set Nr.1 first then Nr. 2 at as close to 180* as you can get.

Section 1-4 says---" four equally spaced power pulses for each revolurion of the crankshaft "-----Now that would make for a smooth running 2 cylinder 2 stroke engine.

Thanks Merc 850, just what I needed.

For basic set-up, the manual calls for .018" gap...
