200x head problem

[atcrider1]

just did the top end of me x, it rolls over fine but when i put the timing gear cover behind the cdi it locks it up

why does it do this?

[Dirtcrasher]

Are the cam sprocket bolts hitting??

Is the cam shaft binding in that cover??

I think your just overlooking something simple.........

Any pics?? we'll figure it out

You need to put a gasket behind it. Went through the same thing the other day

thats why, the gasket fell apart so i put silicone on it

Anytime you guys have a binding issue, start by backing the bolts off - that may tell you everything.

The other thing I use is "machinists ink or Dykem" It shows whats rubbing on what and tells a story. Sometimes even a fat Black Sharpie marker shows you whats rubbing on what.

And LAST, are the dowel pins. If you ever take crap apart and forget one or both (there are usually 2) dowel pins, you will have some type of alignment and or binding issue........

Ya, I did the same with silicon. Buy a gasket or some gasket material and it should be good. It has on an o-ring so the gasket is just for a spacer. It is the pulse generator base plate. The gasket cost a couple dollars from a Honda dealer, or you can get the roll of gasket material for $5 form an auto parts store and cut your own out

problem solved, i cut a gasket out of a cereal box for now until i can get the real thing

thanks alot guys
