anyone know a quick and effective way of putting a 1985 Honda 200M engine on its timing??

 

iirc, the cam has a mark, and with the crank, you can put a screwdriver down the spark plug hole and turn crank until piston is all the way to the top.... this is tdc. as far as the cam, the mark should be in a place where none of the lobes is pressing down on the valves, but the intake is just about to press down.....youll see the mark somewhere around there!

done this on many a car where i couldnt find crank timing marks hehe......

 

haha thanks man

 

well if its anything like a 200s make sure its on tdc make sure the lobes are faced down on the cam make sure the dot next to cam sprocket bolt is inline with the head notch and ck the fly wheel markings i think their is a f and a t use the t for cam timeing

 

can you show a picture of a marshin power 198cc motor timing cam and flywheel

 

Like the others said, just make sure the marks are lined up. I found this video very helpful:
