What did you do to require adjusting the timing?

Like T.Hopp said, there probably is an answer already here;)

Flywheel on TDC mark, cam sprocket marks as close to horrizontal with the top of head as you can get, cam lobes down. Worn chain will throw it higher on right side!

Common cause of not starting is loosing the plunger out of the head for the compression release!

it had a blown head gasket so i had to remove the top half of the motor and now i cant get it to time righti was told this bike had the 440 kit done on it would that make any difference and on the flywheel there is alot of marks is the sideways t for top dead center please let me know i would love to ride this thing some day but damm the 2stroke modols are sure looking better every day and what does this plunger look like

Yes, the sideways T is the mark you're looking for. The plunger is under the decompresion mech. on the sprocket end of the cam.
