LOL, I got through my early motorcycle wrenching believing that a
matchbook cover was the proper tool for setting points on almost any kind of
bike. ;-)

REALITY CHECK. This is an archaic, agricultural history motor. Surely you
jest. I drove an Eldo once of 96K miles on the factory points. I drove for
years with NO timing light. Just loosen the distributor, whack open the
throttle along the road, if it doesn't ping, advance it a little. When it
starts to respond with a ping, then retard it a few degrees. Sheesh, you
guys need to ride a little more.
