Points cracked

[Modracer70]

Found this issue when replacing my condenser, a crack. Near the rub pad on the points, look close at end of screw driver, anybody ever seen this?

Yikes, never. What will they think of next?

Dave, Sorry for the delayed comment, I've been dealing with crazy things.

Where did you source the points from? Could be a "Chinese Replica of Ill Repute". BMW, of all makers, had a problem with a run of bad quality points from the orient a few years back. Outsourced Bosch parts.

I'm sure I got them from Paul or hodaka-parts, these are pretty high mileage, over 1000, in my almost daily rider. Found them while using a timing light to set timing, there was a spark coming from where the crack is.

Looks like my points. These come from Japan and are made by Daichi. Cannot get much better than that.
