RE: [Honda-C70] Re: Air blowing out of carb, not sucking in

Mike or Bill : Could a non working cam chain tensioner & a lot of slack in the cam chain throw Jill`s timing off ? I ask because my 81 will not self adjust the cam chain slack ever since I down shifted & bent a valve in 84 ,but I can manually adjust by turning the tensioner rod in or out . Baby Huey

Until you let us how far off you are, I'm hesitant to suggest this as
a solution.

Have you replaced the cam chain?

I would put a new one on before I would go to extreme lengths to
adjust cam timing.

If the chain is worn, you could be quite a few degrees off.

Other than a sheared key on the flywheel or a damaged or slotted cam
sprocket - there are no other reasons for cam timing to be off.

Unless you are racing, I don't recommend changing the cam timing.

The problem in almost surely something else...
