This is very true. Some folks use their machines daily and for hours on. Some of us use our machines maybe once a week for a few hours if that. Points on the latter will last much much longer as they do not go bad just sitting there provided ignition key is OFF while not running and all other components and wiring are clean and tight. Think about it, those points could have been on your dealers shelf for years before you came along. Might as well have sat in my tractors frontend. They wont wear if not used.
Just remember preventative maintenance for a few moments here and there is practically no cost versus a break down which leads to high costs, loss time and areas needing fixing that you have no knowledge of and not comfortable tackling.
I kike to tear into a system when I know that it is working as it should. Take measurements, voltage, resistance, size depth, width, height, color, placement what have you. Make notes of your findings and shove them into your service manual. That info will become much more valuable than the actual manual when you're in a pinch. :P
