Now THAT is a man who’s got his shit together and knows how to prioritise…!Tidied up (emptied) the spare downstairs bedroom, cobbled together a makeshift ramp and rolled the mk2 right in there for a more comfortable fettle session.

I learnt to remove the fuel a few years ago with a Ducati.I suggest you remove the petrol tank unless it and the carbs are bone dry or it could invalidate your house insurance in the event of a fire claim.
Was going to say points could be set 180 degrees out.Spent yesterday trying to start the 850 Interstate after a full motor rebuild. Not making much progress. Occasional spit back thru left carb. Double checked tappet clearances - used the dial gauge this time. Double checked points gap - ok. Triple checked static timing. Checked spark. Pulled carbs down again, cleaned and checked all orifices (orifi?) all seems ok. Will pull down the carbs again as there's a slight leak of fuel from there; probably the result of a stuck float. New battery - put on charger again as I've been away for 2 weeks. Not sure there's much more I can check. No beefy mates around to give me a push start - maybe time to buy some Start ya Bastard?
Yes very important to get the A-A tapper right and is also easy to set the points 180 degree out as well been caught out with that one with points, got rid of points a very long time ago.Made a dial guage and seems my placement of the auto-advance on the taper wasn't correct. Took it off and tried again resetting the position and checked ignition timing again. Adjusted and checked. Kicked like a friggin' mule. Like the ignition was waaaay advanced. Duh, take out the advance lock washer dummy. Ah! Betterer. She's alive! Still dunno how the timing could have been out and still test ok? Lock washer was only left on the last time.
Better bung up a pic or two.
Also, my dial gauge jpg might be worth adding to the data section, it's based on the pdf already there, but with the correct (CCW) direction marked. Added standard (not combat) valve timing and the 28degree BTDC timing mark. Print it off on a CD, stick a bolt thru to the rotor or as I did - use blutak and a wire marker off the stator. No wukkin' furries.
