200m timing adjustment
I did the ignition timing on my 200M last weekend following the steps in the Clymer manual.
The main problem that I encountered was finding the little circular timing mark, I cant understand why Honda made it so inconspicuous. After I found the circle mark, my timing light had difficulty illuminating it due it's location.
I ended up putting a very minor mark on the outside of the rotor directly in line with the circle, the timing light was able to find this mark much easier. I have read numerous posts about the "T" and "F" marks on the rotor, but my motor did not seem to have these markings???

So the side cover has to be removed to view the T and F marks?
I could be wrong, but I think the Clymer manual tells you to set the timing with a timing light and the procedure does not require the removal of the side cover???
