Haven't needed that tool in a while

Got to use my point file today.

I'd have to find my point file. Been a while.

How about this one ? Don't use this much either anymore...

I kinda forgot about that tool .
and a funny i can recall was when the condenser was too large or too small . And iir when new points were bought there was a condenser in the package ,

Another tool the young guys probably don't have.

Is that a motorcycle engine? I know I’ve seen that setup before, but age has fogged my memory. I’ve got both of those tools, plus a plastic Briggs condenser spring compressor.

It's on an old briggs engine on a 1956 lawn tractor. Not the original but probably 60s vintage.

I knew I’d seen it before. Briggs part number is 291659 for breaker assembly.

Dang, you got a good memory. I can't remember last Tuesday.
