Setting timing marker on a1974 75 76 Kawasaki 500 2 stroke triple with a digial caliper

I have been building performance triple since 1978, and have found a few tricks, and I try to explain why a few things were done the way they were. I do stray from the factory manual for some things, so use this video at your own discretion, your results may vary from mine. It is best to have a factory manual to follow also.

Hi John! Thanks for this. I'm replacing my H1A Lakeland and Hall Effects switch with a Crane Cams Optical CDI system. This helps a lot!! Rich

How many millimeters for 23 degrees?

[@susanhenderson2322]

Between the out of focus camera and the flashlight in the way this was pretty much useless

Agreed.
