Check points gap, and also the length of the rubbing block on the points to see if they are worn short.

A tale of bad spark or otherwise mysterious problems. > I can't seem to get my bike to time right. Woe is me. It is a 74 CB750 K and we are sharing a love/hate relationship. Right now a problem is the fact that Ican't seem to get it timed just right. When setting the 1-4 side I turn the plate all the way clockwise and it seems it needs another 1-2 mm to get dead on the mark. Why does the bike taunt me in this manner? Does it want blood? It has gotten some. Money? You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Time? I'm running out. Patience? It has used up all I had to offer. The bike sputters a little bit like little bitty backfires. I am guessing since I can't get 1-4 just right, that the impression of 2-3 being on the mark is just impossible. Okie dokie, thanks. > >
