No tha chain, doesn't it need to be adjusted when at 15° past tdc

I learn something new most days - if I understand the reply you adjust the cam chain statically in one particular position 15 deg past TDC.

Bryanj:
Thats the later Honda way which sometimes works, i still use the tension on kickstart way

Trigger:
Could never do it with the kick start when i was building shed loads of engines as, they arrived with out a kick start. I would always line it up  ;)

DomP:
Oh so what is the kick-start method then?
