Can someone please post instructions on how to set the timing.

I didn't know you have one of these? I will try and look in my repair manual when I get home.

Bot

"Fit the sprocket under the chain and slip it over the shoulder on the camshaft so that the "LF300" mark on the sprocket aligns with the pointer on the cylinder head.

Screw in the camshaft sprocket bolt and tighten it to the specified torque(30 ft-lbs), while holding the crankshaft from turning with a wrench on the alternator rotor bolt.

Install the camshaft chain tensioner.

Before going any further, check the cam timing.

Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a wrench on the the alternator rotor bolt, until the "LF300" mark on the sprocket realigns with the pointer on the head.

The "T" mark on the alternator rotor should align with the slot.

If the camshaft timing is not correct, remove the sprockets from the camshaft, and install it again as detailed above.

Smear a little engine oil on the camshaft cover O-ring, and push the cover into place.

Put in the camshaft cover bolts and tighten them securely.

Install the timing inspection plug.

install the recoil starter.

install the air intake duct.

install the fuel tank.

I know this is a little more info but I thought it might help. Let me know if you need anything else.
