Re: Help with B&S Points

By crudding up do you mean that they're eroding and if that's the case you
have the wrong size condenser.  Take a close look and see which side is
getting bigger becasue point material is being transfered.  I can't recall
but I'm sure there's someone here who knows are has an old auto tune up book
and can tell you if the condenser is too large or small by the polarity of
the transfer.  I assume this has a magneto and polarity may have to be a
guess unless BS standardized and someone will tell us.
