So, I notice the KZ400 has been hard to start cold lately, & I think maybe it started when I did the timing... (She starts fine when warm.)

When I did the timing, I had to turn the plate all the way counter-clockwise. That made me a little suspicious, as I remember having to do the same with the KZ440. I'm just wondering if it's possible for my ($12 Harbor Freight) timing light to be off.

Thanks,
