VN1500 Classic 1987 timings problem
I need your help! On a 1987 Kawasaki Vulcan VN1500 I adjusted the timing like this, first the front cylinder to the F sign then rotated 310 degrees counterclockwise and I adjusted to R as seen in the pictures. It's good? The engine does not start! Backfiring into the carb.
