ok guys, heres what im workin with. its a e73 motor, new crane cams hi-4n ignition. my buddy came over to help me static time it to get it running but we failed, we tried a bunch of things that didn't work. ok so on my flywheel I have 3 marks: a single dot(which I think is front cylinder tdc) 2 dots( which I think is rear cylinder tdc) and a straight line( which I think is 40degree BTDC). the bike is kick only, we got the single dot in the timing window and proceeded to adjust the ignition module and attempt to kick it over, we got a few pops and fireballs out of the pipes. that tells me I got gas and spark and air just maybe not all at the right time. I don't have a timing light right now but I don't think I need one to static time it to get it started. can anyone give some advice on this please, thanks a lot:)
