400 4 Timing
paul G:
They are mounted separate which is why it's strange they will time up static but not with the strobe
Bryanj:
Paul, in all the years i worked for Honda dealers the strobe was only used once, and that was a 400 dream that holed a piston!
Get the points gap spot on at 14 thou and set the timing to the "F" with a bulb or buzzer, check the gap again and keep adjusting both till both are spot on.
If you realy insist check that the advancer is working with the strobe then put the cover on and ride it
paul G:
Brian,
I think I am going to do just that. The bike road well last year with the timing done statically using the buzzer.
I bought a strobe this year and set the 550K3 with it and it made a difference so I thought I would do the 400 4.
Thanks for your help.
K2-K6:
Agree with Bryan, that it's probably easier to set them up manually to get the static position correct....would add though that if you do it with the plugs out then it's just easier to turn it over accurately with a spanner so you can be more spot on at the signal change point with both a buzzer or light.
The reason as Bryan has said there is that the points gap is critical to timing and any lateral movement in the points mounting plate will shift the timing as well, making it hard to swing the timing position as required with a strobe and not also alter the gap as you do it. you just end up chasing your tail.
Strobe ideal for checking advance and retard onlt once you set the static, just as a confirmation that it is working and not to adjust anything. So your new kit is not wasted Paul.

The best way..............
