Replaced bad stator, have spark now but timing appears to be off. Pulled timing cover, reset timing to Clymer manual specs and tested again. About broke my hand using pull start. Still appears to be out of timing. Removed head from jug and inspected. With the timing gear attached to the crankshaft, valves appear to be opening and closing correctly. Is it normal to have about a 1/4 turn of play before the 1st valve opens? Any ideas on how to get the timing correct?
