My New Project arrives after a 44 year wait!
K2-K6:
Oops,, I've made up a word there
"I don’t particulately"
Amalgamation of "particularly & lately" :) and without my spell checker removing or otherwise substituted with it's own nonsense.
Its probably stored that now in its little silicon filing cabinet, a bit like that machine Wallace & Gromit met on the moon ;D only to later wordbomb some of my further writing.

Do you have the parts to try out the standard ignition Dave. That's where I would start ... get it running as Honda intended then once running OK fit the fancy pants stuff. TBH the mileages our bikes do I just stick with the standard ignition. If you need to loan the parts to try 333 auto-advance, points plate/points etc I can send them to you.
Laverda Dave:
It worked! Nigel's idea of the Boyer instructions being badly worded was the cause of the problem. I set the rotor static to the full advance mark on 1&4 with the back plate set fully clockwise. Once started I took it up to 4500 (on a newly built engine, not the best way to time the advance so I was very brief). The back plate needed turning fully anti clockwise on its slots to get the timing marks correct but it now runs as it should. I have also balanced the carbs, set the tickover to 1200rpm and adjusted the cold start clearance.
I will contact Boyer to advise them their set up instructions are a bit pants and need revising.
I'm off out round the block now to give it it's first run in 24 years🙂.
Thank you all for your help, great, great forum as always 👍.
Hopefully I'll post some photos later of the completed bike😁
