fordsnwheelhorses' 1 #1 Posted December 16, 2013 Just got a new set of points and condenser for my k241 and I think I set them right to what it says online but I can't get the engine to run right runs rough and have backfire and gas spraying out of the carb. To me it sounds like I did something wrong any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,612 #2 Posted December 16, 2013 The gap on your points also changes your timing so you need to recheck it, won't take much to make a big change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordiesel69 207 #3 Posted December 16, 2013 Watch the points with your eyes, when fully open, you should have a gap of about 0.018" and tighten the screw down. Setting at 0.020 on an older worn engine will likely result in a knock. Points and condensor should go to the negative side of the coil. A battery + feed should go to the positive side of the coil. It will come from the ign switch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
