The CB has a spring mechanism on the cam shaft which advances the ignition, on mine it appears to be advancing as soon as you open the throttle, I thought advance happened higher up the rev range? -- Mike Buckley RD350LC2 CB72

What are you using to test it, this does not sound right. You need a proper strobe timing light, there will be timing marks ISTR under a cover on the LHS but ICBW. Do you have a Haynes or similar BOL ?. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 68 Bantam D14/4 Sport (Classic) 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

Yours is doing what it's supposed to do. It's springs: the moment the AA plate starts twirling, centrifugal force is going to start stretcvhing them. It's a very crude system. But it works. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
