Points gap 0.3 - 0.4mm (set so they open exactly on the 'T' flywheel mark)

Plug gap (preferably an NGK) 0.6 - 0.7mm

Valve clearances 0.05mm, set cold, inlet & exhaust.

Hi Jim, the 1975 date given by some ebay people is a bit mythical as there weren't any model changes that year....1975 points will fit a 1973 model :)
