OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have checked the lobes on the camshaft and they are both pointing down on number one cylinder so by pure chance I think I have the sprockets bolted on in the right position on the camshaft.
That's my lot for today I have run out of energy!
Bryanj:
Dont matter ted, rotate the crank till the 1 and 4 line up again and the lobes will point up BUT the other end (that fires at same time) will point down

Is that because the camshaft rotates at half crank speed meaning 1 & 4 spark at the same time so unlike a car with a distibuter you can't get the ignition timing 180 deg out?

Another box emptied as I have fitted the rocker shafts in the upper housing.
