Does advancing the timing help throttle response? On chainsaws it seems to help with that? This is comparing apples to oranges I know, but was just wondering!

Yeah, the bike will feel a little more snappy down low, but you're going to sacrifice some top end power. -Charles

Would you be able to set up the timing when the engine is outside of the bike frame but fully rebuilt?

Damn it. I didn’t even know 2 strokes had timing issues.

At 6:10 when you tightened the 1st screw I believe the stator slightly shifted on you that's why you were a hair off

Great video! I still am having problems with this 1979 Yamaha DT100F I have I can’t get it to run right. I’ve replaced just about everything in the carb including the float needle, seat, float, and replaced necessary jets to OEM and soaked the carb and sprayed it with carb cleaner and compressed air and it still doesn’t run right. I dont see any visible air leaks but they say to use brake parts cleaner or wd40 but you can’t test for air leaks if it doesn’t run right if at all and you can’t get it to run right if you have an air leak so a loop hole there… I’ve also replaced every single gasket and rebuilt my top end and it has 120 psi compression at a recommended 105 compression so that’s not the issue. It has the tendency to flood which doesn’t sound right ive messed with every single thing on the carb and it either gets too much or nothing at all. I’m really stuck on this one. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

when you say it doesnt run just right, what do you mean. does it try to start and then die, or nothing at all?

@@devyn5919 depends. Usually it will only start with choke and then die after a couple seconds. Then if I turn off choke and go wide open throttle it fires right up and then depends sometimes it’ll go for 30 seconds other times it’ll go for 5. I’m thinking it’s an air leak and I plan to pressure test it? But yes. It will run but not for long. It does not idle and is very very finicky and recently I’ve had tough times starting it at all. The carb has been soaked and cleaned throughout and most internal carb parts have been replaced

If the timing line on the flywheel is around 1 inch past the stator line. The woodruff key is perfect brand new oem crank. What would the issue be ? On a ktm 85 ?

I was also wondering this on my yz85 wondering if the keyway was machined in wrong spot on crankshaft

hello, tell me?yz250 2t 2013 I set the ignition according to the manual, the marks match, but when working at speed, the ignition goes to later, but it should be earlier, I disconnect the connectors from the carburetor, the ignition does not change at speed

The ignition should "advance" at higher rpm's. Are you using a timing light? Usually there are two marks on the flywheel to help you see if the advance is correct. Double check the manual. -Charles

Just a heads up I don’t think that Cr85s have a timing mech and it’s just a bolt on as long as the woodruff key is aligned

I had a quick question for you . I just rebuilt the top end on my kx250 2 stroke all stock . I hear what i believe is detonation ping when only in power band . Timing is standard ( middle line) brand new spark in it . Would adjusting the timing fix this ? If so do i retard or advance the timing? Opened up the head and there is no metal or anything to ignite the gas before it should . Appreciate the help thank you !

Maybe you are going to lean and that it is making the detonations, also it is important to measure the squish (base gasket).

There are no 2 stroke dirt bikes with launch control at this time. Your best bet is practicing throttle/clutch control and maybe looking into a holeshot device to help your starts.

@@rmatvmc Is it absolutely necessary to bleed your fork oil before every ride.

Would timing affect how the bike revs with a fast hand full flick? Most bikes being set up for lower grade fuels. To make it fire better with higher ron fuel, would you need to advance or retard timings?

@jannep6772

8 ай бұрын

It reacts to your throttle better with advanced ignition timing. But better over rev with retarded ignition timing. You should advance the timing as then the higher octane fuel will burn earlier. Higher octane fuel burns slower than lower octane fuel.

That's not what the tool is for. The spark needs to happen before the piston reaches TDC, that's why the tool is used to set piston height before TDC. Sorry if that was confusing. -Charles
