Engine wont run 1987 aircooled

[hotdeffender]

I want to set the static timing but my manual is for the 500cc which shows the timing marks as an arrow and a thicker line. The 650cc has what look like 4 or 5 identical lines. does anyone have a diagram or know which mark the pulley should be lined up with and also once lined up should the dizy be turned so the points are open or closed but about to open?

Secondly anyone know what the compression readings should be on the 650?

Cheers

Here you go!

Cheers chris, i take it the rest of the procedure is the same as the others, i.e set it to 10 degrees before TDC with both valves on cylinder 1 closed and both valves on cylinder 2 inline. Then just turn the dizzy until the test light comes on when connected to the points? (mine has the wasted spark coil)

Turned out to be one of the brand new spark plugs that sparked only when it felt like it! New plug and off it went!!

you say the spark plug sparked intermitantly be carefull as it could be the ht lead that has a break in it as i have found this happening to me before if you are running the silicon leads that is.

No, i tested the plug a number of ways and it was faulty, i tested the leads and they are both fine, id also done all the tests on the other components and they were fine. Cheers
