the original contacts are fine and do work. you need to keep them flat and unpitted and correctly gapped.
as for timing, use a xenon timing lamp and adjust each conatct plate to dial in the timing. the "flash" will freeze the indicator situated under the left hand timing cover on the timing mark.
It does sound like carbs though, and they will either be gunged up with stale perol or may need balancing or float levels wrong.
this has been discussed at length in other threads, feel free to do a search for them
and to the forum
should look on german ebay as they are very popular there.
I occasionaly visit xs400 with google translator on and there are loads of info there. just get your head round the pidgeon english translation.

keeping the flat track project going I've drilled, thread locked and wired my disk onto the rear wheel.
Are these tensioned enough. I did pull on them hard and seeing as I used thread lock as well thought it should pass an MOT inspection!!
what do you think?
