125-200cc ignition timing

What is it suppose to be set to havent seen what 0º to set it to anywhere. Just put cr ignition on the wr its a used stator so it has washer marks but I would like to chk it. Also please don't say get factory tool I won't buy one lol. Thanks in advance lol for any replies.

Do you have a dial indicator and an inductive timing light?

My cr has a case mark/flywheel mark on the left retaining screw slot. Can only see with the screw removed.

Doh, but I guess the wr case wouldn't have that mark therefore this is useless.

I just used the washer marks. There are some threads on cr ignition in index that have some info if you look hard
Let us know what you think of it -

Yes I do I just don't have any marks that will work so I wanted to know what 0º to set it to

So no one has ever used a degree wheel to see what its at... you just use factory tool?

The factory setting is 4 degrees advanced. Get your dial indicator and find tdc. The stator is very close to 1mm in circumference=1 degree. So advance the stator ~4mm from TDC. I will leave it up to you to find the position of the stator at TDC.

Thank you very much the 4º is what I was having trouble finding I figured at least one person would know.

This has been discussed many times in previous CR ignition conversion threads. If you will do a search you will find all this information and others experiences there. A lot of the time guys won't respond to questions that have been asked and answered quite a few times before. JFYI

You can use a piston stop and make a forward and backward mark and then measure to the center for a TDC mark. Then you can do the math to get the degree measurement from the radius. A poor boy piston stop can be made from an old hollowed out spark plug or a long bolt with the same threads as the spark plug.

After you posted that I only found one post that had it also found lots of not helpful stuff so that's why I asked in a post that had a easy to find title to help others. I could buy a factory tool or use the old marks or I could get the info I needed use a degree wheel and then post my results to help others.

I am surprised you found only one reference. I know I have answered this question several times myself, but then some of those may have been in PM's. Age and genetics may be catching up to me..CRS.

The other one I found was from you. Your the one with all the top secret info lol

WOW it is a different bike now if my forks didn't work so good I would be furious that I didn't buy a cr. I will be happy to run my lights off a rc car battery to be legal now. If you want a wr to be faster the stock ignition is limiting you. I can't wait to race tomorrow.

I was afraid you might say that! Does it rev out further?

It feels like it. I only only rode it up and down my dirt road a bunch( on the rear wheel lol ) and had to turn metering rod in a 1/4 turn and power jet out a 1/4 turn but I will post more of how I feel about it afte r the race tomorrow.

Does anyone know if you can get a vortex ignition to suit wr 125?

I don't think so

Horse Power Ignition make a programmable ignition for the CR 125
