The high side of the cam needs to be at the open position of the points. Then use a paper match book to set the gap. You must loosen the points plate screws before adjusting the gap and tighten them afterwards. Don't over tighen! They can break or strip. However they must be tight. If this does not fix the problem, you may need to have the timing set by a mechanic.
I guess you know how to set points. If so, use a paper match book. The paper match book is just right! Have used the same more times tha i care to recollect. LOL

The EverStart ES16LBS battery is designed for a variety of applications, but it may not be a direct fit for a 1982 Harley Sportster. Harley Sportsters from that era typically use specific battery sizes, such as the YTX14-BS or similar, which may differ in dimensions and terminal configurations. It’s important to check the battery specifications and dimensions to ensure compatibility with your motorcycle. Always consult your owner’s manual or a professional mechanic for the best fit.
Harley-Davidson introduced the belt final drive system in 1982 with the release of the Sportster model. This innovation offered a quieter, smoother, and more maintenance-friendly alternative to the traditional chain drive. The belt drive system has since become a popular feature in many of Harley's models.
