nklr shopping timing lights

[James W. Flower]

Mark- I'm still trying to fix the high-rpm miss [("Re: [DSN_KLR650] Help! 22-cent mod renders motor non-running!?!?!? ('99 KLR)"].  I'm going through the tests described in Clymer.  But now that you guys have educated me a bit, I can see that timing's not the problem.   Shucks:  I guess this situation isn't a good enough excuse to buy a new tool.-James On Apr 28, 2014, at 7:07 AM, mark ward wrote:
