Points Gap 1971 4hp?

[BassFish]

Does anyone know the points gap setting for a 1971 4hp Johnson model # 4R71D? I think it is .020" but I am not sure.

Thanks

Same as all the others .020.

Set the points as follows. Have the flywheel key aligned with the fiber rubber portion of the ignition points. Adjust the gap so that a .020 gauge will pass thru but a .022 will not. Should there be any question of the points being dirty (touching the contact with your finger would cause them to be dirty), clean them with a small brush and acetone or lacquer thinner.

NOTE: Should the operating cam have a small portion on it with the word "SET" imprinted, align this portion with the fiber rubbing portion instead of the flywheel key.
