360 yamaha points settings

Factory spec is .014"
First, file and clean the contacts.
The procedure is to set the timing and THEN check the point gap. If the gap is too wide, bend the top contact arm down to correct gap and check timing again.
If the gap is too small (less than.012"), the points need to be replaced.
Good Luck,

My manual for the rt2 360, shows points, perhaps someone has fitted a later model ignition. and flywheel
This may mean trial and error, see if you can see where the screws used to mount on the slots, or try it half way, then if it will start, use a auto timing light to see how close it is to firing on the F mark.
If it is not the original flywheel, check that when the piston is at the top( TDC), the timing mark points to the T mark

point gap is .016

timming set 2.2mm

gain access to the points, behind the side engine case. once you can see them, turn over the engine slowly, till you see the points at there biggest gap, top dead center. loosen the one screw that lets the points pivot, and adjust to the correct gap, about 14 thou, or a cardboard buisness card is the correct thickness also

hello, old school bikers woud use a match book cover, get the lobe up , open points, close them to barely touch match book flap, tighten down see if it works, i have actually tried this it works on late model dirt bikes old triumps, late 70-80 dirt bikes, sounds crazy, try it

Get an id puller, take off the flywheal,check the key and keyways.Check the condencer and points, make sure the points move freely and are not worn
off. cost you $20, off ebay often less, to get both points and condence,wich should give you good spark.
