Default 1979 Suzuki gs550 how to time ignition points

We have done a lot of adjusting with the points and have the same result every time. It cuts out when you pull the throttle to fast won’t idle at all and back fires out of the tail pipes. It won’t go over 35-40 mph when timed in a certain spot. We tried putting the old points back on to trouble shoot. They were no good so swapped them out and now the bike won’t start at all. Both points are firing but the #1 spark plug doesn’t seem to have fuel being delivered to it. We have it set to top dead center gaping it at .35 when it’s on F1 and the same for the F2 position. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
