85 350x timing adjustment (i need help ASAP!)

[Ryan.]

hi, im new here and i need to know what the timing adjustment on a 350x is, its a 85 and it has a Web cam, Weisco high comp. piston, along with a DG slip on. the only problem im having is the timing adjustment, im new to 4-strokes so i don't know much about timing so does anyone know what the adjustment or w/e you call it is with these mods? please help :confused:

thanks

what is the problem/whats it doing?

what is the problem/whats it doing?

well, its not doing anything because its taken apart at the moment, but when it ran the piston was hitting the valves... and you couldn't give it throttle without it bogging out. so all i need is what it needs to be set at

If your new to 4 strokes the best thing you can do is first buy a manual, then read it and last open up to the chapter on cam chain timing and your good to go!! :beer

Unless you can simply apply of engine knowledge over to the 350X. At TDC the "T" timing mark will show on the flywheel and at that point if firing, your on the compression stroke. Otherwise your cam is 180 degrees out. Glad I could help.....:welcome:

I'm the one being arrogant, lol......


Left side cover, center plug spins the crank, offset plug shows the timing mark. BUT, if you wing it without a manual it'll end up on EBAY with the rest of em....

Get a good flashlight and look for a slight notch. Put a straw in the plug hole and that will get you MUCH closer.

Manuals are cheap, bent valves are expensive :beer
