Im asking this not to sound like a dumbass. Id like to think you guys by now know I know mostly what Im doing, and Im not a dumbass.
Anyway, Im asking this because when I bought my blaster, it didnt run. Issue ended up being a stator. I bought a stator from a guy on here that works, but the plate is literally 180 degrees out from a standard blaster plate. Its COMPLETELY different. The way it mounts is totally different.
The bike runs. It runs pretty good, but I cant help wonder, whats the deal with the way the stator is mounted, and how would I check ignition advance/retard/normality? Id think I could get the piston at top dead center, make a mark at the top of the flywhee, make a mark on the housing somewhere, and hit it with a timing light, so when it pulses, its pulsing at the point where spark is supposed to occur. Then I could maybe even degree the flywheel so Id know?
Im just wondering, what would be the best way to know what my ignition timing is?
Or is it even worth my time, should I just transfer my stator coils over onto a known stock plate I have thats been modified for ignition advance/retard (the plate that came on the blaster with the bad stator)?
If it wasnt such a pain in the ass to pull the stator out Id take a picture of it side by side with a stock one so you guys could see stock coil placment vs where it is on mine.
