Rd400D Timing

[kevb]

Further to my question yesterday on set ups. Timing, I set it up first using the marks on the flywheel as stated as rough guide. Figuring that would be very near right setting. Made sure points gap was 12 thou.  I borrowed a dial gauge today to set it more accurately. problem is I cant get enough travel on the points unit slots to close the points at the required 2.3mm BTC as manual states, still cracked open (bulb lit) unless I reduce points gap. Only a whisker away but points right on end of slotted travel. Am I missing something? Also does anyone know what carb needle groove clip wants to be in.? Left one was fully down clip in nearest top of needle, right one clip in groove 3. set them both to 3 but it does not show in my manual a default setting?
Any tips welcome

what do you get it at is it a bigger gap or a smaller one if its closet to 2m tdc thats on but if its bigger its not .
