I can certainly see why this would be first thought, but what gives me doubts about this are...

- bike ran consistent and beautifully right before taking off top end, intake, carb to simply replace gaskets

- should have mentioned, replaced condenser earlier in season, has ~100 miles on it

Another potentially helpful comment and I can't comment on how it was before all this as I just received my timing light... Timing light sits perfectly on 1.9mm BTDC, does have an intermittent blip where it momentarily falls out of place and bounces right back to 1.9mm BTDC

Plug relatively new, but simple thing to test - will do

Crank seal behind stator plate was replaced brand new this season, unless for some reason my install was poor and it's slipping out

How did you time it at 1.9 mm s

What's that piston travel before top dead center or flywheel rotation before top dead center?

You are retarded too far. Check if you are super cool on top but the pipe is cherry. Your gasket quacks the. Timing

Thank you all for response. Helpful for this specific issue but also great learning experience talking through it... Sorry for delay, have been out the garage w/ change in seasons and holiday seasons... Plan to get back in and try some of these suggestions soon.

Pat Splat - definitely before TDC, points cleaned recently and in great condition

Crazy Wayne - 1.9 mm BTDC is cross referenced both at the piston head w/ micrometer and from what I gather on this bosch flywheel at 360^, 19mm of flywheel travel BTDC hits the 1.9mm at piston head

Slew Foot - Will look into this. What do you mean by gaskets quacking timing?

Evgdboy - I hear ya, that sounds logical and like simple solution right? I tried downjetting a bit with the same mindset before I even post this - no real change in performance.

I am thinking it's electrical/timing. I just got timing light and what I'm noticing at idle is that it does sit nicely right on the 1.9 BTDC mark I make, but like once every second it falls out of line and right back into place

Update - replaced my recently installed condenser with external superbeetles condenser recommended by deesal. Don’t ask me why my last one failed so quick... but I guess that was the big issue.

Quick test run cause of rain, but bike seems to be running very well like before. Only thing I still notice that I would like to understand and hopefully address is that my timing light still bounces out of position intermittently... not as strong or often as it appeared to before. I am going to replace points even though they look to be in great shape and I’m going to double check the connection on my grounds, perhaps even run a second one. Any other suggestions to consider that might contribute to the timing light behaving like this?
