Hi yall, hopefully you guys can help me finally get my bike running.I have a 78' 650-E 277 rephased. I believe that my camchain timing is off. I put the timing marks at TDC and looked behind the advanced unit and the dowel pin in the cam. It seems to be off not by too much but enough. I also have not timed my new pamco because I could not get the engine to run long enoigh to time it. However, the engine would start up and idle for a few minutes then die then would not start back up again. I switched coils and new plugs caps and wire. Compression is around 120-130 both sides, I have spark and fuel flowing through the carbs with the mix screw set 2-1/2 truns out. My question is how would my bike even run with the timing that much off and if the problem is cam timing would it cause the bike to just sputter out after a little while running? As always any help is very much appreciated.
