Your comment goes along with what I have experienced that if it is not set up correctly it doesn't work so good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377633185895928429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26736972.post-71471186443359855772011-12-20T14:20:18.170-08:002011-12-20T14:20:18.170-08:00Good "points" John.
Point gap is a littl...Good "points" John.<br />Point gap is a little smaller in the 4300/6300 manual L-1363F dated 01-05-11. Page 7-4 shows proper "E" gap setting will provide a point gap of .008-.010" with the points fully open. With a 6310 mag set up this way I have expeirmented on the test stand with the recommended 5mm (0.20")test spark gap. Opening the point gap to just .012" the mag begins to fire unevenly and at .020" pt gap the mag doesn't fire at all. And further expeirmenting with improper e-gap or point gap setting really shows up on a test stand. They don't jump as big a spark gap. A mag can be set up a little out of tolerance and run just fine on an engine with a normal spark plug gap of .019" but with time will likely wear so far out of limits one may loose the customer before the next 500 hr inspection!bchipleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26736972.post-84427458621337960602011-11-24T09:08:12.156-08:002011-11-24T09:08:12.156-08:00E gap is not a gap.

I took that to mean the E gap opening and not the max point gap. not to mention that your photo is 1000 times better than their line art for illustration purposes. thank goodness for Joe @ Slick.jhruboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858746997112831079noreply@blogger.com
