Yamaha R5 ignition timing

Hi. I'm trying to time a '72 R5C. It was advanced so far that it would kick back when trying to start it. I set the dial guage in and set it to fire at 2mm BTDC. The points look good and it would run before(after getting your leg thrown back at ya). Problem so far is that when I get the timing set correctly, the point gap is too close. Inserting a screwdriver and turning the breaker plate(not the points) doesn't seem to make any difference. Any tricks to this? Mountain?
