Re: Timing question

Negative terminal to splice with regulator was the piece of wire that failed. Splice was near the coil in the main loom. The key switch worked so I figured that ground was good. Used a jumper wire from the negative terminal to connect to the ground splice up front. Fired right up. Checked each splic...

Re: Timing question

My wrench card has been revoked. Ground wire was the culprit. Fires right up. Time to button up the shields and shrouds and try to take a ride. Not too impressed with my troubleshooting skills I had run a new ground wire to the motor but obviously the ground issue was elsewhere. Foolishness. Let the...

Re: Timing question

The one that was on there didn’t appear to have had the rib. I looked at that same pic before I posted with glasses on and off and just couldn’t tell.

Re: Timing question

Gaskets arrived. Head gasket has a rib. Does the rib point up when installing? Thanks. Joe

Re: Timing question

Got the stator side seal in stalled and gave it a new plug. Got it fired up and actually idling but it had to set pretty high in order to get stay running. When it decided to die it made A chirping noise which I figured was the belt. It turns out it was coming from the base gasket i think because I ...

Re: Timing question

Seals got here replaced left side. Installed new coil and cdi finally made it run it needed quite a bit of coaxing and it won’t idle on its own. The coil failed the resistance tests so I bought a new one and the cdi just came with it. Tried all combinations of new and old parts but it will only run ...

Re: Timing question

Two marks on the flywheel”t” and “f”. I put a paint stripe on the F and cranked the motor. I assume the light should flash when the f passes the the timing mark in the case. It does not so I was wondering if the that would in indicate incorrect ignition timing or whether this is not a valid test sin...

Timing question

88 elite sb50. Has spark fuel and 120psi at wot. Tired of kicking. Pulled the flywheel and the key was in place. Bummer. Hooked up my timing and cranked the motor. Timing light flashes on the pickup and not the “f”. Seems like it’s 180 out. Is that possible or is the cdi just busted? Thanks. Joe
