Re: timing issues

You may have a timing problem if you always arrive late to places.<br />Also if your engine consumes too much fuel, rattles or doesn't want to idle, makes explotions or kicks backwards when starting. Does not develope full power or acceleration is poor.<br />Cheers

Re: timing issues

It sounds like you have a cylinder not performing. Maybe a loose coil or plug wire.

Re: timing issues

i did a compression test and all cylinder are 125 plus, so i dunno what the problem is

Re: timing issues

Compression is only 1/3 of the equation. Spark and a good fuel supply count just as much. After running it for awhile shut it down and pull the plugs. If one looks obviously different that is your problem cylinder. If it is not as wet with fuel it is either a plugged carb jet or stuck reeds. If it is soaked you are not getting good spark.
