Back to the bike. Idle is hunting. Right cyl points solid as a rock, timing dead in the middle and running 22 degrees on the 4 cylinder scale. Left side advanced and jumping around like a crotch full of fire ants! Had them hanging on their leader. Replaced with a Yamaha set. Gapped at .010, caught the light between the timing marks, locked em' down and fired it up. Dwell was 22 degrees, steady as a clock. (Lucky puppy) Re-checked right and good to go. Ordered a push pull gage, 0 to 2000 grams. I've got OEM, K&S ( china) and some branded China points to check! Book say points should open between 700 and 800 grams pressure. At the least you can match up a pair that will break the same!
Still don't sound just right. May have an air leak? Replacing the Pea-shooters had nothing to do with the points but it may the mix.

PS Yamaha Service Manual, Mods 74-77 XS650 pg. 2-21 Para 14. States to 'Bend the advance weight stoppers'!
Clymer Yamaha pg. 20 Para. 9. States "DO NOT bend the advance weight stops to change the amount of advance." "The stops will snap off!"
You do ya' trust? We know not to bend them!
