My honda 400ex was missing in the middle on the top two gears it just loses power and stops pulling. I cleaned the carb new plug new gas and adjusted the valves but now i cant get the valves right. The piston is at top dead center and i set them at .004 on the intake and .005 on the exhaust. but there is still alot of slop could the timing chain have jumped a tooth and through it all off. Please help honda wont tell you anything unless you give them $64 an hour.

what has alot of slop?, the timing chain? If the chain has slop chances are it did jack up the timing. Did the timing look ok when you were in there?
