Are there ignition points for the Honda CB350 scrambler?
It is has become very tough to find ignition points for the Honda CB350, CL350 scrambler, SL350 as well as the CB360, CL360 scrambler and CJ360 family of motorcycles. After 40+ years the supply of NOS (new old stock) Japanese made points has finally dried up.
When to change ignition timing on a Honda CB350?
Ignition timing should be adjusted every 1,500 miles. We hope that you get between 4,500 and 6,000 miles out of a set of points before they need to be replaced. Be sure to watch our VIDEO on how to set ignition timing on the Honda CB350 / CB360 / CL350 & CL360 Scrambler (also the CJ360 and SL350). Honda CB 360 owner.
Do you need to replace Ignition contact points?
After decades of sitting idle, do yourself a favor and replace the contact points. Points are a wear item so if you are unsure of the condition of the set in your bike, swapping them out is a wise idea.

How do ignition points open and close on a car?
There’s a lobed cam on the distributor shaft that pushes on a small rubbing block on the movable side of the points. As the cam and distributor rotate, the points open and close constantly. As they close, current from the ignition switch flows through the contacts into the coil’s primary windings and then off to ground.
