89bansheerob Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 so i bought a cheap $30 +-10 degree adjustable timing plate from ebay, installed it at set it to +4 where the 2 cases meet, set my pickup coil to 18 thousands, then i went to fire it up and nothing. my banshee started up easily with one kick before this. pulled the plugs and checked for spark and it was good. then set the timing to 0 and still no start. installed my old non adjustable timing plate and bam fired up with ease. can anyone shed some light?

trickedcarbine Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 What does your flywheel key look like? Quote
89bansheerob Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 I never unplugged the stator. The key looks like a half moon Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 The only thing changed was the plate? Really makes no sense, ya know? Quote
89bansheerob Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 That's all I changed. Yeah I don't understand it either Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Sometimes those cheap plates are covered in a gnarly thick silver paint / powder coat. It helps hide defects. Any chance that yours is and you weren't getting a good electrical ground? Quote
89bansheerob Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 Maybe, but I checked for spark by removing both plugs, connecting the plug wire then setting them on top of the head and I'm getting plenty of spark, but I'm gonna take it to work today and strip the paint, thanks for the tip I hadn't thought of that Quote
