[T3] Don't file Trigger Contacts ?

<br>> <br>> Yes, the dist's certainly do get grimy.<br><br>Make sure to clean the FI trigger points with a bit of clean paper slid between <br>them. DON'T file them. A drop of oil on each pivot point and a small dab of <br>grease on the rubbing blocks is also good, but only after you've cleaned <br>everything off. Clean and grease the trigger point cam, too.</td></tr></table><br>
