Hi y'all!! I just picked up a low mile 1984 200M and have been fixin her up and this forum has been a great resource. I finally decided to register because I have some questions... but...
Are new members banned from posting in Trikesylvania or something? My Post New Thread button is missing :(
The timing on my 200M is off by about 5 degrees late. It looks like someone had aligned the spark with the letter F on the flywheel instead of the alignment mark to the left of F.
The motor starts are runs great, but does stumble once every few minutes. I plan on using 91 octane non-oxy and nothing else, which seems like more reason to move the timing up to where it should be.
I had tried busting loose the screws for the CDI to rotate, but I broke the tip off my screwdriver and I'm concerned I may strip or destroy something on the engine if I keep trying.
Do I leave it be or set the timing EXACTLY to spec?
Thanks,
Matt
