Hello,
I bought an 82 200 honda not running. I figured out that the thing that sends the signal to the pickup sensor had the little key missing. I put a new one in and the machine fired right up. I must have put 3 hrs on the machine with no problems. I tried starting it the other day and it wouldnt. Still has spark and fuel. I'm guessing that the timing cahin jumped or something, but i dont know. How do i figure out how to set the timing start to finish? Or is it not that the timing is off but something else? Thanks for responses.

First check and post results for the following:

1.compression
2.air filter condition
3.condition/color of spark plug
4.make sure the fuel is flowing good to the carb
