I suspect my timing has moved, plate loose in timing chest, lost my TriSpark instructions.
From memory, I believe I need to put on center stand and in fourth gear nudging rear wheel forward to rotate motor until the red light comes on when looking at the TriSpark inside the timing old points cover, and help me out, when the light comes on do I go to the left side of bike and look in forward primary inspection hole to see what, 28 degrees?
I just tried to strobe it but could not even read the degrees, I think the timing is too far off and I need to get it
going stationary and then strobe it.
so is my above procedure correct and does the light supposed to come at 28 or 30 or something?
when I do get it there what do I rev the motor to in order strobe to see what degrees fully advanced?
one more question, I know the ignition has to be on but can I remove the spark plugs to make rotating the motor much easier? and if so do I have to have to have them grounded on the head while looking for red light or can I just take the plugs out and let the leads hang?
much thanks in advance if you can help with this!!
