The point setting on a 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine typically refers to the ignition timing, which is adjusted using a feeler gauge to ensure the ignition points open at the correct gap. For most models, the gap should be set to approximately 0.020 inches when the points are fully open. Proper adjustment ensures optimal engine performance and prevents misfiring. Always consult the specific engine's manual for exact specifications and procedures.
