With points cover off,slowly bring engine to the highest point on the points cam.Its easiest to do this with the spark plug out,and slowly spin the engine with the kick start. Once you get it to the highest point on the points cam,the points should be "open". Insert feeler gauges untill you find the correct one...(it should have slight resistance). The check what the recommended gap is for that model. After finding the recomended gap,use the feeler gauge that matches the recomended gap,and isert between the points. There should be two screws,one on each end of the points. Loosen those two screws,and the body of the point will move,one way to "open": the gap,the other to "close" the gap. With feeler gauge between the points contact,close untill you feel slight resistance when moving the gauge back and forth,and tighten the set screws on the points body.

SOURCE: Adjust honda 250 nighthawk points

Hi lol points sorry had to laugh unless your motorcycle is from the early 70s and back it may have points after 1975 mechanical ignition points became a thing of the past.
Your bike has a CDI system no points to adjust

Honda xl 100

Yes and from memory you need to use a (I think its called a bearing puller) to remove the cover which is part of the points and it is behind it, so saying again from memory there is gaps you can clean and adjust the through. I had the XL 500 :-) hope this helps

How do you replace the honda gc190 decompression mechanism

This is a problem with GC-160 and GC-190 engines on pressure washers, tillers, etc. Once they get some hours on them and as things seat in-wear in, they get to a point you can not pull the start cord. If you remove the spark plug, the engine turns easily. The valves need adjusted. The valves are set .005" to .006" off the seat. This allows enough compression release but the engine runs. I find the valves need adjusted every 25 hours, not the 100 hours Honda states.
