When I assemble the cam chain the the timing mark on the intake cam is about 1/8 inch off, while the exhaust cam is right on and the LT mark is right on. Does this seem like a problem to anyoje. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the replies. The chain is the same as the original chain. When the LT and exhaust cam marks are dead on, the closest the mark gets is about 1/8 inch. The tooth gap is .308 inches. I've had it on both sides of the mark and the 1/8" is the closest.
in cases like this pictures always help.
maybe some close up pics would help.

The chain is an EK29H. When I got the teeth lined up right it worked just fine. It is the same as the last chain I had. (Maybe the original)
Power goes through the ignition switch. The connections are the same as they were last fall when the lights worked. I'll need to check through the harness trying to follow what there is of a schematic.
I'm waiting for the next week for new coils and a new battery. I have decided to rebuild my air filters. Has anyone else done this? It should be more cost effective than 150 bucks for replacement filters. Also, is there a place to find vintage bike parts or after market parts other than ebay or amazon? I'll probably start on my Honda 650 custom when I finish the 450.
I can't locate a source for the green unifoam. Does anyone know where i might find it? Thanks

Thought I would try the kick starter and found out it is not connected.
Just spitballing here, but could your issues be explained by a bad clutch adjustment. You said you checked for spark, so perhaps it can't be that, but clutch-in and neutral disconnects the kick starter.
Thanks for the ideas. The cam on the timing advance is properly aligned. You can't set the timing if it is reversed. I checked. If I shift out of neutral the kick starter will engage the drive shaft, but it did not engage the engine in neutral. Thanks again.
WRONG!....
The breaker cam CAN be installed 180 out on the advance unit, and while you can APPARENTLY set the gaps and timing, the engine won't start or run.......
Feel free to phone......
Would be easy enough to test this out too. Just swap your spark plug wires and if the bike starts then you know that's your problem.
If I shift out of neutral the kick starter will engage the drive shaft, but it did not engage the engine in neutral. Thanks again.
I couldn't find it on the page so I sent it again. I didn't realize that there was a second page. I've been trying to find out how to add a picture to a reply, it's not real clear that you need to go to advanced something.
thanks
Is that where we are?
