arcing points
« on: November 24, 2006, 04:56:39 pm »
What does it mean when points arc? the points on my cb350f are arcing after I put int new points and condensers, now the bike won't start. They are only arcing on 2/3 and I set both points to there proper gap. Any thoughts..?

my $00.02 worth.
the points act across the condensers, if you are happy with your points installation try the old condenser to see if the problem persists.

you spend your two cents wells. I'll give it a go and see what works. I was also thinking that maybe there is a short somewhere.
