I don't know why but when I set the timing by the static method and the points using a feeler gauge and then check with a strobe and dwell meter they are always off. Now I just use the strobe and meter but why is this so, in theory they should be the same?
Never use a dwell meter ona  bike - that's car stuff! Stick to a simple on off strobe with no silly advance retard settings and you'll be fine....oh yeah - +1 to what TT said as well :D
