: : : Most manuals suggest that you use a file to dress points and never to use sandpaper or emery paper. Does anybody know why? : : sand paper and emery paper has an oil base that may cause the points not to fire if you use either
: : clean points with contac cleaner and they will work fine. : Actually its a fear that emery particles will be left embedded in the contacts and keep them from closing. : Gerald I was always told to drag a rough piece of paper
(such as a dollar bill) through the points after
cleaning them, weather it was with a file or emery cloth. do this even after gapping them
because your feeler guage may have dirt or oil on it.
