Can't get the idle right

Find the one that is the furthest away and file the contact point down on the others to match. Somewhere around .025 is nominal.

This is very good information from Tom. Many times carburetor problems are ignition related. There is an amazing difference in idle quality with even rotor gap vs uneven gap.
