1956 Simplex Automatic Servi Cycle Build Thread

I was able to finish the spokes on the rear wheel and finish up the rear fender. I've been putting a lot of time into the paint correction phase. I also dyed the seat - I didn't really like the brown. It's slowly looking better and better...

Does anyone know how to set the points on a Simplex?

Barring any official guidance, I would set the gap very small and increase it very gradually.

Thanks, that’s a great tip and place to start! I’m going to do some trial and error and see what happens.

I recently bought two Simplex bikes. Both frames are in the fabrication shop to get repaired.
