Hi John, thanks for the videos the have helped a lot. I am having an issue after the rebuild and was hoping you could help. I have set the timing four times at this point and still have a no start and recently had two backfires that knocked the carburetor off the intake manifold. My issue is every time I align the lines on the cam to the block I have a good amount of play in the cam (like an eight of a turn) it was the same on the old cam and new cam. The reason I did the rebuild was to get rid of the cam chain noise with a Part # 14401-MEB-671 cam chain for a CRF 450r. I read in multiple posts that it was the best cam chain to use. Could this be the issue? I set the valve lash and replaced the coil and cdi. The fuel might be degraded but I tried staring it with staring fluid and it didn’t start. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
