Hey all.
First post here. Just got done doing a bottom end on my son's bike. The service manual says to use a timing light to set the ignition timing but this has proved difficult. It's been difficult because I can't get a freaking timing light that actually works. I finally bought a light that says it works with two strokes and has a tach but it doesn't fire the light.
Anyway, a dude I work with loaned me a dial indicator and said they time kart engines with the indicator. This sounds like a great method but my service manual doesn't make any mention of this technique so I don't know how to set the stator. Anyone have any insight?
By the way, the bike runs great and we've put several hours on it with the timing set to the default position.
Thanks
