78 kz 650b. i justed adjusted to the lowest tlerance being .012. i think it may be a fuel issue. i tried turning the engine over with the throttle wide open hoping this would cause the plugs to get wet but there bone dry. im stumped
With the throttle wide open, your just blowing off the plugs.
If you want them to get wet, put the choke on full, and dont open the throttle. They'll get plenty wet! :laugh:
Timing points can be a huge pain. Make sure that the points themselves are perfectly flat and clean, very clean.
This is a very good source of info on points timing/setup: HERE
When trying to start the bike, DONT touch the throttle. It defeats the choke system, and makes it harder to start. Only play with the idle screw if necessary.

With opposite results, points cam is probably installed 180 degrees out.
Good Fortune!

When viewing points: set at 9 o'clock should begin opening when F mark for 1/4 aligns with case timing mark; and set at 3 o'clock should begin opening when F mark for 2/3 aligns with case timing mark.
With opposite results, points cam is probably installed 180 degrees out.
Good Fortune!
if the points cam is installed 180 degrees out, how is this fixed. the thing that confuses me is the bike was running at one point but stopped getting spark. its getting spark now with the new coils installed but wont start
