Timing marks and settings.

[chappo]

Does anyone have an image of timing marks and settings on a 1998/99 TX 250, or ways to set the timing. I’m rebuilding an engine for a friend and it came to me in a box so I’ve no way to determine where it was previously set. Thanks

Usually they have fixed settings. The stator and the pickup up mounting holes have  holes they are not slotted but a previous owner could have filed them to give some movement for their own modifications , some people love to fiddle of course.

Thanks Tr1AL, the stator has slotted openings that will have an Allen bolt into fixed bolt holes in the inner casing. In my experience they are usually bolted mid slot, but have timing marks. There are no visible marks on the stator or inner casing. If I can get the degrees BTDC I can time it myself. But thanks.

The only setting I have for the pre TXT PRO motors is 2.7mm before BTDC.
