saltycove Posted July 4, 2020 Hi, I have a 1985 Honda 50. I have checked with a mechanic-I have good compression, spark, cleaned carb and fresh fuel. Through process of elimination we determined I needed new points. I bought correct points and placed on bike. TopT lines up well but for some reason as I turn the flywheel the points do not open and close. Is it possible as there should be a notch that should be on the flywheel that broke off and is not pushing the points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
