Pullstart 66,843 #1 Posted June 28, 2019 I picked up three sets of points today. Barney Fife and Putt Putt need some, plus I figured a spare for the shelf might be a wise idea. They all have some dielectric grease and this little felt looking pad. Does anyone know the purpose of these extras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,828 #2 Posted June 29, 2019 The grease is for lubricating the area where the points are pushed open. You pull the paper thru the closed contacts to clean them. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,086 #3 Posted June 29, 2019 They probably pack them with all points they sell. When the points in a distributor are replaced the lubrication is used on the lobes of the distributor cam. Kohler doesn't provide them with their points. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,843 #4 Posted June 29, 2019 Paper is used to clean off oxidation on the contact surface. Put a dab of that grease on the pushrod contact area and over the screw for the wire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
