I set the gap then set the timing with an inductive timing light nothing simpler. I have the header burn marks on my arm to prove it.

Seriously, please explain how you are timing and adjusting this ignition. I'm not trying to be trite or accusing, but it really sounds like you are doing something very wrong to this distributor. After you set the gap and the timing on the left side cylinder, you are NOT touching the points are you? You aren't perhaps mistakenly using the instructions for a dual-point, Tonti framed bike? Please describe. Sounds to me like you may be doing something that gets your timing way off and that is causing the pinging.
