Help! I have just bought a Fantic 300 but it doesn't run quite right. Thought I would check the timimg etc. Does anybody know where I can get a repair manual or if not tell me what to look for in setting the timing. I read somewhere that it uses a Champion N3 plug and the timimg settings are 2.5mm before TDC. Is this right? Also I couldn't see any alignment marks when I took off the magneto cover. Any help appreciated.

take out your champion spark plug and drop it in the wheely bin and replace with a bp5es ngk plug .champion plugs are sh-te

Thanks, I'll try the NGK plug.

The timing marks on my 240 are at the base of the flywheel near the surface of the crankcase and they are not that easy to see as they are quite lightly stamped - it might be worth having another look for timing marks.
