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

    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!

    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-A...sories&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.
