hi guys , new here,
i have a 82 gs 850 , bought it just recently, issue is ,low cyl pressure , runs on basicaly 2 cyl
#1 hi n miss pop out exh #2 doesnt hit all #3 runs just ok low temp, # 4 runs low temp
been reading manuel on timming this thing, guy bought it from rebuilt it said it ran but wouldnt idle ?
i cant get to idle let alone run much,
this model has elec ign, trying to see if it is in time, the crank bolt has the A mark and T mark, cannot find the aligment mark anywhere on the plate or housing to show where i should line it up with
when i get the marks to line up where i think is right ,, the cams are nowhere close to what the book says they should be,,
does someone have a diagram, with good pics i could see as the what i should see if it is positon please
if it was a car thing its a 180 out , hahah
thanks everyone

Dennis, you'll want to start your own thread so it doesn't mess up the OP's discussion much.

I would first clean those carbs thoroughly and then do a valve adjustment. Once that is done, you can properly synch the carbs and worry about your timing afterwards.
