Recently I've been having a problem with my points lasting about 2000km before becoming badly pitted and causing my motor to start missing. Its only been since I put my rebuilt G180 in. Coil, dizzy, plugs etc weren't changed at all, yet thats when the problem started. I've tried using my spare dizzy and the coil/resister off my bush basher, but still no change. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm off to change the points AGAIN!

Greg, usually a faulty condenser will burn out points.

Hmm, I have a spare one there - I'll give it a go and see how long they last.

Cheers
