    You can download a factory Suzuki service manual for free here...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

    Lots of info inside, like how to time the cams. Ignition timing is not adjustable, unless you have an aftermarket setup installed.

    To measure is to know.

      look at the manual, on a description of the timing marks; they are under the right hand ignition cover. You can pull a #1 plug to make sure you are on top dead center.

      as your slowly rotate the engine a timing light on the negative side of the coil will be off (meaning that end of the coil is grounded by the ignitor)
      as you get to the timing mark the light will come on meaning the coil ground was release.

      That should get you started and then fine tune with a timing light.

      You have a timing light correct? They are $40 get one.

            I tried returning your call 3 times & never got an answer or a call back from you. I have also told you at least 5 or 6 times that I would help you if you would just bring the bike to my house. What is so hard about that? Ray.

              Looking at the words in your original post that I have highlighted in bold, I would guess that timing is not your problem.

              More like a carb/fuel problem to me.
