help with new cam on 200x

[xman23]

alright last night i put a new cam in my three wheeler, web cam by the way, anyway i put it all back in and went to fire it up to see if it worked, and i never fired at all, i kicked and kicked and nothing, do i have my cam 180 degrees off or do you guys no anything else that could be causing it?

with the timing mark up the cam lobes should be down.

I just did this myself. Go back and double check these things. On a 200x you wont have to pull it out of the frame. Pull the pulse generator cover, rotor and pluse generstor plate and base and all back off. remove cam. make sure you are at top dead center face the cam lobs down and line the notch on the cam chain sprocket with the top index mark. After you are sure you got that set right re install the rotor assembly make sure you have the punch marks on the rotor and spark advancer are in line. Dont forget about the small pin that goes in the cam shaft. turn the flywheel to the F mark set the rotor and pulse generator to where they are aligned with each other. If thats all set right you should be good. Check for spark. I ended up finding that I was slightly off on timming and also were I had painted the frame it was not grounding the coil

Recheck all your timing and then check if you are getting a spark.

Good luck :beer

I hope you get it to work. I am putting a web cam in my 350x in a few months. I am getting the highest grind with out shortening my valve guides. Ill post how it works out for me.

i't helps if you turn the engine over once and recheck it . sometimes alittle slack in the chain on the wrong side will get you of a tooth or two.

top dead center
cam lobes down
pickup on the cam ready to fire
