Have a question for you guys.

Ok, I just got done rebuilding a tranny and engine on a 95 Honda fourtrax 300 4x4 for a customer. When I got done with the engine it would fire right up. first push of the starter button. Well, the owner brought it back a day later cause the timing chain tenchener broke. Fine ez fix I thought. Well, I got the new tenchener installed and the engine retimed. Try to fire the engine up and nothing. Wont even try to fire. It's getting a beautiful spark, fuel, and tons of compression. I checked the flywheel key, piston and valves for damage. nothing seems to be fucked up. The engine just wont fire up. Yes, I am timing the engine right. O the engine wont even fire with a shot of ether anyone have any ideas?

are you sure the timing is correct? when the tensoner broke the chain might have skipped a tooth and messed up your timing. might have timed the engine 180 degrees off the mark or something. i did that when i rebuilt mine and had to tear it back down. make sure no valves are open when the engine is on its compression stroke at tdc.

I rebuilt a motor and everything was fine like you said above but wouldnt run! Finally figured the stator was bad.

Well I'm getting a very good spark. So i know the starter is fine. Yes I know the timing is wrong, But why? I have reset every thing and started over 5 times now thinking i timed it wrong. But same prob every thing. No fire. Getting spark, gas, and compression.

I was getting a spark, but when I swapped STATORS, it ran perfect!

did you make sure that the piston is at tdc when no valves are open on compression stroke?

Yes, the piston is at TDC, and I reset the valves. I am replacing the cam chain tomorrow it is very loose. I know that's not the prob, but it wont hurt either.
