Bought the starter because that is what i thought it was. Anyway, water under the bridge there. So basically you are saying my timing might be off.makes sense.I just do not understand why it would jump timing.Originally I had started the bike like normal one morning a couple weeks ago. She is a hard start in the cold.She was running and then stalled. When I tried to re-fire her, the problems started..no start.Just a running starter. Thats when i thought the starter went bad.Did not consider it to be a timing issue. I will check all sugested at this point tomorrow. To dark now.
