I find this better with a tune because the facings of the points cannot be accurately assessed with feeler gauges. Perhaps I should always replace points with a service where the facing gap is not an issue.

(and drip-free—at least from the De-dion tube, thanks to new seals). Also many thanks for earlier advice on the brake failure switch. I rebuilt it and it’s working fine!  Now on to the accelerator linkage to see if I can get some of the slop out of it.
