I haven’t had to deal with bad points in some time now... but.... I’ve had 9 bad sets this week alone that came i. Our recent shipment of 35 sets. They are standard brand and given standard makes echlins points they could be at risk as well. The good news is you can spot the bad ones right out of the box. The top one in each photo is a bad one compared to a good one. Notice the sharp bend mark near the contact point on the good one compared to the smooth radius bend on the bad one. While they will setup fine, when running them on the sun machine they lack enough sprint rate causing them to miss or “bounce” at a very low RPM.
