At the time circa 1990 I ended up using a cold chisel to eventually get the nut to free off. 3

CB350/400 / Re: Power consumption, E-ignition vs Points. also - spare advance cam?« Last post by Mikep328 on Today at 08:50:24 AM »Update: I ended up going back to the USA before continuing with this "project." While there I came across a complete points plate/advance unit in a garage sale for 10 USD! I checked the condensers with a real capacitor tester (not a multimeter) and they show good as far as capacitance and voltage. Points are original ND and look essentially unused.
Now I'm back in the UK eyeing these parts wondering whether I REALLY want to install the OEM system or just leave the perfectly functioning DSS EI in place. Logic/common sense would dictate leaving the EI; but I have this NON-common sense urge to have the points in there... I haven't awakened the 400 yet from it's winter slumber - been too cold/wet for me but hope to do that sometime this week. It's probably not often that someone has a perfectly running machine and intentionally changes something that may make it less so and I can't think of any operational advantage that the points would provide! Yes, they will provide a spark with less voltage than EI but I haven't seen any case with my 400 where low voltage is an issue. So more thinking... 7
