While you have it apart get calipers and set them to 21mm. Lock them and use the rod sticking out and put it where the bowl gasket will mount. You want the carb up side down. Bend the floats to the bottom of the caliper so your floats are set right. Check your float needle and look for a groove. if it has a grove and its leaking gas out the overflow get 2 carb rebuild kits. You can use peripheral vision like said above but a sync tool is a more fine measurement. I don't have a sync tool I just use my eyes to set them.
Looking to buy a good barebones desktop pc kit and I found this very appealing on Tiger Direct for $390 after a mail in rebate. Need thoughts! I have been out of the PC game for a few years. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9548431&CatId=11513

I wanted to find out what crank was in it and the old owner wasn't responding. I measured 88mm bdc and 34mm tdc, 88-34=54. 54 is stock. I found out what size. A few hours after the old owner said it was a Hot Rods stock stroke crank.
X2 I love my impact driver. I ordered Cascade bolts and when I replaced the old screws I used my impact driver and this bolt head was torn to shit from the previous owner and these bolts cracked loose in one hit. I just turned it out with the driver and got the bolts out, no hassle.
Yeah I figured it out in the shoutbox yesterday. TDC is 34mm and BDC is 88mm. I didnt know you just subtracted the numbers so its 54mm, stock. Turns out it is a Hot Rods crank, I thought it was a Wiseco.
Just want to be clear, I have to measure the farthest and closest points that the piston comes to the head from the spark plug hole right? I was told it was a 4 mil but I just want to make sure.
