hi guys just an update - i bought new branded points from suzytwo (Daichie) and though i was a bit sceptical as to the points being the problem - i fitted them and the bike fired up straight away - great result - i have now turned my attention to setting the timing using a strobe light but the points on the right hand side of the stator plate ( i.e. the points for the left hand cylinder) don’t seem to have a backing plate which to allow adjustment of the timing for this cylinder . the points for the right and centre cyclinders do and i have been able to adjust these and line the marks up as recommended .

How do i adjust the timing for the left hand cylinder as the timing marks don’t line up under the strobe ?

The first step is to adjust left cylinder timing by rotating the entire backing plate, which moves all three points.
Then adjust the other two cylinders.
