Points run on 7.5 volts.A white block should be next to or on the coil mount,that has resistance wire in it.

The white block next to your coil is called the Ballest resistor this diplaces the heat from your points (well so the RACQ guy said)
I would drop in a new set of points,condensor and resistor.

You think? Try getting a job with them as a field serviceman without qualifications.

OH NO we are of the subject of points.Thay burn because of to much power/volts.yYou only need to start on 12volts.

How to solve it?

If you don't have the ballast resistor connected, put back on.

Replace the condensor.
