i bought this 82 xs650 about 4 months ago and after a bunch of miguiding bullshit i was finally ready to rebuild with mikesxs 650cc rebuild kit. I begin to take of oil tube and remove the timing covers and come to find out im missing the timing system!?!?...i have a manuel and the pictures clearly show i show have some type of spring powered timing mechanism behind these covers. I DONT!. I bought this bike knowing it had a severe backfiring problem, he even started it in front of me first kick and it fired just backfired really bad constantly. So im thinking its some kind of air leak or easy fix. Come to find out the guy must have removed the timing system because he needed the part. So my question is where do i go from here? please help
