Ok, then I'll replace the condensers as well. If necessary, I'll replace the points later on. Found a cheap new pair close to home.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I got new condensers and new points on the bike today after having a lot of struggle again with the screws (an impact driver really IS necessary whilst working on these bikes XD).
She never fired up so easily. Points 1-4 gave 3 arcs and then, no more arcing, bike running happily.
2 and 3 are firing now as well judging from the blue smoke I get XD I'll take it out for a ride tomorrow to clear things up a bit.
Now, I read somewhere that on these old machines, lots of people advance the timing more than the manual would specify, to account for wear? Is this true? I can't seem to find the damn post anymore.. Anyway, it definitely seems te be running a lot smoother keeping the timing slightly in front of the 'F' mark (meaning to the right side of it).
Anyway, thanks for the help so far guys! Working on this bike and being on this forum really taught me a lot.

Yes I am!
I'll do that. I noticed some ticking every now and then and I'm not sure whether its timing related or a wheel bearing somewhere..
