So I bough a beat up old XS2. I've replaced the condenser, spark plugs, point and the carbs are off getting bits done. Before the carbs went off to get cleaned up I couldn't get it started. I'm guessing it may be the timing. Anyone got any suggestions of anything else it may be and or can let me know how to set the timing?

Get the static timing done before the carbs come back. And the cam chain adj. so you can just toss the carbs at the bike knowing all other adj's have already been done. What are they doing to the carbs you couldn't do yourself?
 
Any XS650 will start and run just fine for a second or two on a bit of gas dripped in the intakes, no carbs needed. It actually eliminates the carbs as being the problem LOL
