Should my '84 200x start if the timing chain is off by one link? My bike will start if I pull it with my truck but the carb adjustments make no difference once started. Seems to miss and not run right. I have tried everything and my last thought is that maybe the timing chain might be off by a link. I think that it is firing just a little too late. Which makes me think that if I readjust the chain it might work. The timing marks don't line up exactly which is why it might be off. The v marking at the top is sitting between 2 sprocket teeth so I am wondering if I line it up to the left instead of the right like I have done, it will fire a little sooner and maybe fix my problem. Any advice would be appreciated!
