[T3] Don't file Trigger Contacts ?



<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I didn't file the trigger contact points, but I gently used a bit of Very Fine sand paper...my cure for many things.&nbsp;&nbsp; But why use paper instead of a file? &nbsp;&nbsp; Just to prolong point life by not losing metal? Is sand paper, fine grit, ok?<br><br>&nbsp; And...why the heck did previous posting about Fuel Problems end up looking like avant garde poetry?<br><br>On 30 Jul 2009 at 0:07, Jim Adney wrote:<br><br>&gt; On 29 Jul 2009 at 15:40, J.

Clean and grease the trigger point cam, too.</td></tr></table><br>
