So went and bought a complete parts bike with bad piston for my ex that needed a cam/rocker set/cdi So today I got it put back on and hit my starter button nothing, same as be for. I changed the cdi out and got it to back fireing a few times (still don't know if it is the right cdi its about 1/4 smaller than the stock) So pulled my rocker back off some how I got it out of time, Tried putting it back in time and nothing, I'm thinking I may have put my cam gear on backwards I got the up and down mark pointing to when the cam is flat and lobes pointing down.
So whats everones thoughts on this? got a BIG ride this weekend and want to ride my 440

I believe there is a side that says "out" on the cam gear. And I may be wrong (it's been a while since I rebuilt mine) there should be two lines on the cam gear those lines should be level with the head if you look from the side. Do you have compression?
