Alright, I posted this in the mods and performance forum but didn't get a response. Maybe they don't remember what points are

Anyway I recently got a '69 Honda z50. It had not been used at all in probably 10-15 years. I cleaned the carb, the inside of the flywheel and the points and it started right up. I did not even have to change plug. Now I want to do a tune-up, plug, points and condensor. Can someone please tell me what to set the point gap at?

This bike is a blast, everyone that rides it gets the same foolish grin on their face.

Thanks for your help,
Scott
