It helped to move the camchaft-chain one tooth. When the chain guides are not in, the chain i quite loose, and the cam-sprocket can turn quite a lot.
Thanks for the advice about using light to adjust the ignition-plate.
I put a light next to the ignition - put a battericharger to the engine (-) and (+) to one wire on the light, ans the other wire from the light to the wire to the contact breaker. So when the contact breaker opened, the light went out.
Worked very well !
Must admit that adjusting the contact breaker gab is not as easy, as it looks in Haynes manual. Both the top with the points (contacts) and the bottom which runs on the camshaft must be adjusted. Haynes doesn't tell this
bcware - yes the cam looked liked that. But with the chain guides not in, there is quite a slack - and that made it possible to place the chain one tooth wrong.
It almost got me down, but with Your help I got back in the saddle, and got the ignition so sharply adjusted. Also adjusted the valves, and cleaned the carbs.
The bike runs very well now - and without spilling any oil at all
