what part of the timing? put the marks on the flywheel to match the T to the notch on the case, thats lobes down ont he cam, the electrode part should be pointing straight up on the outside of the cam, atleast with a 86 125m

if your refering to the electrical timing (time the plug fires) You can't , you can't alter it's lowcation.


valve timing you can change. but make shore the valves clear piston before starting.

the one thing that makes them run to hot is running the carb too leen. check the color of your plug.

not worried about timing anymore cause the exhaust valve broke off in the cylinder and ruined both valves and the head (put some pretty big gouges in it)and the piston so timing is sortof the last thing on my list right now.

sorry to hear that . if it didn't crack the valve seats , head or piston all you will need is valves and gaskets

no i need a new head cause it put some pretty deep gouges in it and it gouged the valve seet and piston so it is gonna sit till i save up to fix it about 2 months glad i got a back up bike
