Help Setting timing

Post by Rick84KDX200 »

I have a 1984 KDX200 and I had to fit a new style flywheel on it. I clocked the original stator according to some photos I found on this site and have my timing light set up for two stroke and marked top dead center but anytime I think I might have it close when I restart the bike again the mark is in a completely different spot like almost opposite where it was. I can keep shutting it down and restarting and it just keeps jumping around the flywheel. Kinda stumped if anyone can chime in that has fitted a E-series flywheel on a 1983-1985 or anyone with experience timing the KDX’s it would be much appreciated!
Thanks Rick

Considering you have another topic in General about this very same issue I'm closing this one.

Good luck on getting it figured out. Wish I could help.
