My motor won't fire. I changed the dist. coil, and ignition. No change.I wired it straight from bat. to coil. Nothing. It does back fire a little. sounds like it's out of time but it should be ok. I have it set at 10 before TDC. Any ideas.
Thanks
Dean

how did your cam break? was you running then it broke, or just trying to start it up after it was sitting since your last ride?

Well. First off I have NEVER claimed to be and engine builder. The cam may not be the problem. I am stumped. I will be making the 4 hr drive south in the morning to Shadetree Performance. Were I am sure he will take one look at my unassembled motor and tell me what I did wrong. But when I leave it will run.

Never kick a man when he's down. Did they leave a radius when the clearenced the cam. If not that's what will happen. That sucks

When machine cutting you need to leave a radius at the root of the cut otherwise it will crack there from the stress.
