Setting timing with strobe.

(1/5) > >>

Nurse Julie:
I'm trying to teach myself how to set the timing with a strobe light. I can't get 1&4 to time up, I run out of adjustment on the plate and the firing timing for 1 & 4 at full clockwise is firing just before full advance. I've tried it on 2&3 and they are spot on. What an I doing wrong 🤔🤔🤔🤔

paul G:
Have you set the points first !
If I remember correctly Julie 1-4 should be done first then 2-3 but the points must be done first. :D

fogrider:
You beat me !, I was just about to say get both points set  with, hopefully, the plate in the middle of its' marks.  Then strobe 1&4 first.
I have a vague recollection, possibly from my CB750 days, that certain makes of points are gits to set. Maybe someone else is aware of that.

K2-K6:
If you've got the 1/4 points at wide end of tolerance you may not have enough plate movement to set timing correctly.

Set them to minimum and see what you get then.

It can be awkward to get everything in complete range, accepting gap compromise to get accurate fire point may be needed.

Nurse Julie:
Thanks Chaps, I will start at the beginning again.... Every day a learning day ☺️☺️☺️☺️
