YZ250 Timing

[SKIDOOrider800]

Hey Guys. Finally got parts and got my rebuild done. for some reason my stator was no longer attached to my bike.

Reading over the manual basically says put the engine to 7 thou BTDC and line up the marks (mag and stator).

I noticed this was about 2-3 mm off the marks where I can see it was set before, and it always seemed to run fine. I moved the stator plate in the CCW direction, essentially retarding the timing slightly as I understand.

I'm just nervous about this procedure and wondering if i should go back to the previous setting, or if i am over complicating it. We didn't have the dial shaft, so we used a dial indicator on an arm magnetized to the frame. We took like 2 hours getting it exactly perfect.

I guess for that little adjustment there shouldn't be much difference anyway?


Thanks in advance for the help,
SDR800
