Ah, now THAT makes sense to me, 'one full turn' equates to half turn of the the point-cam, (slash down) for points adjusting.

It was pics of the down-pointing slash on this forum that was confusing me.

Many thanks guys.

hi modelman
sorry for the late answer but you have to turn 180° your ignition cam.
when the punch mark is at 12h and the rotor is at "T" mark, the ignition cam is just begining open the right point.

OUPS!
I should have check before sending my post!!
I was wrong and the picture is correct (as R100 answered yet).
in this phase(punch mark on the sproket at 12 o'clock)), the exhaust valve is near to be closed and the intake begin;one turn (180°) more at the rotor and "F" is ignition right cylinder.
apologize...
