When I set my points gap, I use a feeler gauge, and the gap is perfect until I tighten the adjusting screw.
As I tighten it, the gap size decreases from 0,4mm down to 0,2mm or less.
I've always had this problem and have to set the gap larger and hope that when I tighten the screw, it
ends up at 0,4mm.
Today I got to wondering if there is supposed to be a washer under the screw, between the screw head and the points. Perhaps this would facilitate the turning of the screw so that it doesn't drag on the points.
From the photo, you can see that there is one screw in place (I've always had that), but there is place for another screw. Are there supposed to be 2 screws?
