My timing was set closer to TDC than the 1.8mm setting and it did run but backfired and had very little low end. When I figured this out I set it at the factory setting and it runs much better.

Hard to believe how quickly a decade slips by. I sold this bike last October. Never did get back on how it runs. It worked pretty well but only used it as a spare as it was a little flat on the very bottom due to having what I think was an enduro piston. I had just turned 80 and decided to get out of the sport so put it up for sale. Think I've changed my mind now and will continue this season though at perhaps a more relaxed pace. You folks on this forum have been a lot of help and a great source of information over the years. Trials is a great community. Thank you, Chris

Guess I did get back, thought I was replying to Jools post on page 1. Ha!
