Go back and set the timing to the 'F' mark , that never needs changing .

Just for fun , after you've checked for a vacuum leak , check the charge rate at the battery whilse it's running....

Back firing out the carby can also be running too lean , IE : vacuum leaks and too small jets .

And it's developed a habit of back firing. No amount of adjusting the carb or timing at the points plate will solve this. When in gear it feels real weak like it doesn't have the power hardly to move itself. If anyones got an idea please feel free to advise me.

That's exactly what I did after posting on here I was having a problem. Got pics and all to show what the process. But essentially it was a hair bit back from where it should've been. I moved it forwards a link and now its a hair bit forwards of the mark but it runs now with no backfires or stumbles. imageIt looked as close to straight with that mark as I could get it when I assembled the top end after the rebuild. Guess it needed to be one more link CCW from that though.

Also got a video of the exhaust I'll post up in the home made muffler thread.

Tomorrow after work its getting hauled out of the 'burbs to a lonely stretch of blacktop a 10mi out of town where there's never any traffic or neighbors to be concerned/complain about a little yellow motorsicle screaming up and down the street. image
