£150 it was NOS though in the Honda packing. (Paid for my DK CB 450 rotor/clutch assembly) ...CMS are charging over £300 ;)

I think I will try a 7 day auction starting at £120 and see if there's any takers.

Bit of success over the weekend. I took off the electronic ignition and refitted the old points plate and remote condensers, they are pretty worn out but will do for checking out the problem. It static timed to the marks no problem and the engine started okay. It was running pretty rough and the points were arcing like crazy so I guess the old bits are fooked. Anyway, it ran well enough to warm up and strobe, and incredibly it strobed up to the marks so looks like the Pamco ignition is the culprit.
I tried to email PamcoPete for help but unfortunately he has retired and not answering emails. I'm told he was ripped off by another company that stole his designs and sold it cheaper so that finished his business. That and the fact he's USA based leads me to think the Pamco is a dead loss that has no chance of being refunded. At least I know what the problem is, now I need to sort a solution to the rough running problem. I'm thinking a Charlies Place electronic ignition as they appear to have rave reviews unlike the Pamco.
MrDavo:
Why not chuck an old school set of points and condensers at it?
My CL450 is on the original clockwork ignition, she starts instantly and runs without missing a beat. I quite like the idea of using technology I can understand and therefore fix, electronic ignitions are great while they work, until suddenly they don't anymore.

Personal preference I suppose. In all my years of biking I have always used electronic ignition and never had a single issue until now. I do like the set and forget aspect, plus the cost and availability of genuine Honda points for these is prohibitive and I certainly wont be using Diechi (is that how you spell it) points as they are awful.
