Your words are hard to read. Why not use some capitals at the start of sentences and periods at the end.

What year is the bike/engine? Did the bike have electronic ignition before (TCI), or did it have points ignition?

Did you buy the advance mechanism (advance rod/weights) or did the bike already have that installed? If you bought it, where did you buy it?

Its a 1980 engine that had points before now has a full kit from mikes xs but they are not helpfull at all.

Since it had points before, the engine must have had the stock advance rod. Did the kit you bought come with a new advance rod, and did you install the new rod?

Yes a new rod the only parts not changed are the brass bushes.I did not change them because the new rebuilt engine has new bearings.

Remove the Mikesxs advance rod, and put the original stock advance rod back in. It will likely allow the advance rod to work freely once again. Lube the rod.

Its been seen before, that Mikesxs advance rods are machined too short between shoulders on each end, which causes the rod to bind when the nuts are tightened on each end.

Many thanks.

Glad I could help out. Be sure to post again when the problem has been solved, so we all know the full story of what was wrong.
