Bike turns over, carb has been cleaned (2 jets and idle mixture set), plug is new and has a spark (how strong it is, not sure). bike won;t even fire with starting fluid!!! suspect ignition (timing slipped or weak coil) Where is the distributor and how can I check this next step? Dan H

The first thing I would do is replace the spark plugs again. You can foul a plug and it will cause you more problems than you can ever imagine. I see you have done all the logical things that I would recommend but I did not see you have replaced the plugs after the 200 miles. You would be surprised at how many times a $2.00 part can cause fits beyond belief.

I had the same problem, Turns out that my shims were finished, replace the chims and check clearences.

clean contacts on points with sandpaper (800 grit). located behind flywheel, will gurantee a fix. you can remove the side cover and get to contacts through holes in flywheel without removing it.

try looking for the idle screw in the following place...
standing facing the side of the bike that has the clutch on it.
look in the area between the front cylinder and the rear cylinder, close to the tank.
the screw is black and can be difficult to see.
hope this helps.
