atc70: Wanting a " How To " on how to replace the Points and condensor

[Tacker]

I have a atc70 that has been sitting for a few years and has no spark. I replaced the coil and still no spark and I am guessing I need to replace the points
Is there a How to somewhere ? A video ?
Thanks!

its VERY easy you just have to gap them when you are done. and i do not know the specs off hand.

Throw all the points stuff away and get a solid state electronic ignition. Best money I ever spent.http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-CT70-ATC70-SS50-Z50-XL70-CDI-Electronic-Ignition-/380212163713?hash=item5886693481&item=380212163713&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

The electronic Ignition sounds nice in theory, but then I would have more in the ignition than I do the bike! lol... Just lookin for a cheap easy fix for now...
So i got to this point ( pun intended ) and now I am kinda stuck. What do I need to do with the 3 wires on top ? Do I solder them to the top of the new / used one ? - What are the forks on the condenser for ?

i have not changed the condenser in my 70s but it would appear you have to solder the wires.set the points where they are just opening as the F mark lines up with the timing mark on the case.

Did you try filing the points with a points file? I think I've had to do that on at least 10 of my Honda 70s and its worked every time.

I had posted this awhile ago, took some to find it in the search but here you go.
