for most motors you alight the mark on the timing gear with the housing, and the flywheel should line up on t with the housing. Hope this helps out, like I said it is the way most motors are set up:thumbsup:

Thats right stan_man. Set the crank on the t-mark. And on the cam should be a little dot on the cam gear that should face up. And the two bolts should be straight across from each other . And level with the head. And when you put the spard advance and cdi back on. It should be facing straight up or darn close to straight up. It might be slightly to the right of straight up.

on the bottom cover there is two different wires wound up a copper and a black ...when looking at the bike which color wire is suupose to be on the righjt side and which on the left side. the wire broke when i was changing the piston, and im not shure if i put it back on the right way. (its not smart to drink with your buddies in the garage when doin this kinda stufff...you tend to forget what goes where
