Took the head off & checked to see where the lines met up, close enough to 3.5mm btdc-maybe slightly closer to the first line than the centre. Refitted head & checked for good strong spark, doesn't seem to matter which way I connect the cdi unit to the coil
Still no joy, the occasional kickback & the kickstart looks to be developing a bend
Looks like it's back to points for the last mr vmx round & taupo
Hope the lapped in taper holds up
