Cheers,.that makes more sense! I had it backwards.
But I have given it a good many tries and I just can't nail it. Set at 0.3mm and 0.4mm and just can't get the adjustment required. Not sure it's the spark advancer or I'm just fundamentally missing something. Videos show this process to be fairly easy.

Set it at 0.2 and see what happens.
Oddjob:
Are they TEC points or Daichi?
TEC are standard points and the best, Daichi are known for not allowing 2/3 to time up correctly unless you reduce the gap.
juitz:
I have a TECuni5 and checked again that dot/mark on the cam is facing the TEC stamp on the plate.
I'll give it a go with 0.2mm shim as well.
Bryanj:
If you cant get both side spot on F with 0.35 gap your points are either badly pitted or the fibre heel worn, especially with Tec point

Points are new but they are eBay specials. Didn't think to buy OEM or good quality ones as I purchased the Hondaman ignition unit.
