Sounds like your timing is off. If you don't have a manual, getting one would be a good idea. A good place to get a decent manual is here: http://www.motorcyclebooks.com/honcbcb19.html. That's the one I have, and it has all the info I've needed so far. Nothing beats the factory service manual, however, but those are rather expensive and hard to find nowadays. Good luck! Nick
