Blue Ribbon points

[bob54]

Well I took the points apart to clean them and now I am not sure I have them back together correctly. Does anyone have an exploded view of the points I can look at? I know,,should have taken a photo or drawn a diagram. And how do you connect the lug wire to the coil, my plug wire seems to be aluminum and won’t take solder.

It could be high voltage wire for neon signs. They use stainless steel. Aluminum wire has caused many a house fire do to corrosion and the difficulty of attaching it to anything.

I have not been able to find a picture of a Champion magneto, Sorry . . . . 😳

Thanks Gary,,,should I change the plug wire to a copper one?

Absolutely, !t should be a solid copper multi-stranded wire like Packard 440. . . . 🙂

They didn’t solder the wire to the Bendix-Scintilla coils. Tin the wire with solder, then simply stick it through the hole in the lug and twist it around the lug one time.

Thanks guys for the help. I did find a photo of the points so hopefully I’ll be good to go

IT’s ALIVE!!!!!
Well it’s all back together and running. Still some fine tuning to do on the carb. But I have water peeing from the bottom hex head bolt. good strong stream, (Like I did when I was young) do I just need to put sealer on the threads of the bolt or do I have a major problem?
