With the lamp, was one croc clip on the engine casing, and the other purely on the capacitor/output lead soldered tabs, and not touching the metal of the points mounting in any way?

Many thanks - Points gap of 0.35 it shall be. Noted about airscrews. I did indeed think they basically affected things up to around 2000 and then main jets took over. All are set to 2 1/2 turns from bottom. I'll try 2 3/4 and take it from there.

At 2¾ turns out, you will be bordering on running very, very lean. 1½-2½ is the desired range. Running slightly richer is far more desirable than running too lean. Have the jets or needle position been changed in the past by anyone that you are aware of?

I've set them at 2 3/4, and it runs better. No hesitation, better torque. Fully appreciate rich is better than lean, but if the plugs are sooty at 2 1/2 , then it is too rich and no good.  I'll check plugs again sometime.
