« on: August 11, 2017, 09:33:32 PM »
 Just realized I was on points side of bike, when I timed the cam. Piston near me was up at TDC.
 Me thinking it was 1 set the cam timing.
All back together and no spark .
Do I have pto re time the cam, I am tinking. Just turn the ad cancer 180 degrees.. will that do
It?     So tired can think straight.

#1 and #4 TDC are the same; it makes no difference on the cam timing. Turn the crank 360 degrees and voila, it lines up again. ;)
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Frank, time to throw in the towel. :( Kelowna is 20 hours driving time from Delores, and almost 1300 miles. Throw the bike in the back of a truck, or even leave it home. We don't care. The number one goal is to get there, whether by bike, plane, train, or automobile. 8)
