 Hey folks,

I’m having the hardest time setting up timing to be just right on my cb750. I’m using the circuit light method, and cranking with a wrench. My circuit light seems to stay on, or not come in once I cross the F (fire) for 1-4 when I’m working on the 1-4 side. Can anyone help with this? I’ve watched videos, read manuals. Bought a new circuit light to do this, but the light seems to work fine, just can’t set up the damn timing and in the process I threw it off my points. Can’t keep my bike running now. Maybe low battery from messing with it so much. I’m having no luck, and I don’t want to wear out the bolt with crank, it looks abused already. The circuit light method looks easy online, I follow exact directions but to no avail.
