camshaft 1971 cb500
« on: July 08, 2010, 06:56:43 PM »
Can anyone tell me for sure where to set the timing mark on the breaker plate when putting the camshaft and sprocket back together? I am using a clymers book and 
believe it should be on the " t "of 1-4 mark while the right end of the camshaft notch is level with the block.Is this right?

The line on the advancer associated with the "T" mark for 1-4 should be in line with the static mark on the case and the top line of the head casting should bisect the notch in the cam end
