Sounds like you need to check out the spark advancer, it may need to be freed up and lubed.
CB360 Timing adjustment way off
Hey all, so while tuning my CB360 using a timing light, the only way to get the strobe to pulse at LF and F for each cylinder respectively is to rotate the points wheel very far counter clockwise to the point where I cant put the points cover back on the head. Do I have the points cam put in backwards? Or is my cam misaligned? I would appreciate if someone could take a picture of the key location on the end of the cam while the bike is at LF on compression, or some other comparable position. Thanks! Picture attached of how far I have to rotate the mechanism!

The left piston on the compression stroke just after the intake valve closes, will line up the rotor LF mark when the camshaft key at the bottom 6 o'clock. The keyway is only visible with the points plate and advance mechanism removed, which I did to confirm this for you. See here the LF mark and the cam key, plus my points plate adjustment for comparison.
