"Fit the sprocket under the chain and slip it over the shoulder on the camshaft so that the "LF300" mark on the sprocket aligns with the pointer on the cylinder head.

Screw in the camshaft sprocket bolt and tighten it to the specified torque(30 ft-lbs), while holding the crankshaft from turning with a wrench on the alternator rotor bolt.

Install the camshaft chain tensioner.

Before going any further, check the cam timing.

Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a wrench on the the alternator rotor bolt, until the "LF300" mark on the sprocket realigns with the pointer on the head.

The "T" mark on the alternator rotor should align with the slot.

If the camshaft timing is not correct, remove the sprockets from the camshaft, and install it again as detailed above.

Smear a little engine oil on the camshaft cover O-ring, and push the cover into place.

Put in the camshaft cover bolts and tighten them securely.

Install the timing inspection plug.

install the recoil starter.

install the air intake duct.

install the fuel tank.

I know this is a little more info but I thought it might help. Let me know if you need anything else.

      1997 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 - issues post ring job
      By PIYIRIO
      Hi all - I recently had a shop fix this quad and it hasn't been right since. The jug was resealed as it was leaking, the rings were replaced, and the valve stem seals replaced. Shop said the cylinder walls were great so nothing was done there. The motor still smokes, heavily on startup and all but quits once warmed up. Enough that I can live with it if I can fix what I came to ask about. I mentioned this work because since I've gotten it back it seems like it has power but tops out at a much slower speed than before. It's old so I don't have a speedo but I pulled out my phone at it tops out at 25 mph. I know before the work, I was getting up to 45+ mph... It's so bad, my 10 year old daughter is pulling away and straight leaving me in the dust with her governed Polaris 90.
      Given the work done, what are some thing I could be the cause of such a drastic difference? I immediately thought timing but the marks appear to match up with a youtube video I found... no idea if it's correct though. It sat in another shop for 2 months and they gave me an $800 quote just for the starter... it pull starts fine. 
      FYI: I would take it back to the original shop to figure out but I had some issues that make them a no-go for me.

      Kawasaki Bayou KLF250 Timing Issue
      By Thebritish
      My bayou 250 came to a stop and would not not start, it turned out the starter clutch had a fit and died. I changed the starter clutch which had sheared off the 3 bolts attaching it to the flywheel and everything went smoothly. However, when I went to start it I found it would not start. On investigation I found the timing out of whack, by alot. Thinking it was something I did on the repair, I repeated the process of removing and reinstalling the starter clutch and related components and resetting the engine to TDC. Tried to start and immediately realized the timing was out of sync again. 
      Is there something I'm missing? Could there have been a bigger issue, possibly on the other side of the engine? I don't understand why, with a brand new starter clutch there would be such movement in the crank. The timing chain and sprockets do not look worn and appears to be tight on the tensioner. When I move by hand everything appears to move as you would expect. But when I try to start it using the starter or the pull start it goes out of whack!

      Picked up a 86’ LT 185 for $10 in trade value(my items only cost me $10) 
      recoil only , I pull the recoil and it won’t move , so I took it off , I can spin the crank there one full turn left then it locks up , and one full turn back to the right and it locks up
      pulled the plug , the piston is moving up n down , both valves are moving(pulled the caps) 
      pulled the clutch off , oil pump gear , and it still locks up after one turn 
       
      any ideas or where to go from here would be greatly appreciated 
      im a 2 stroke guy so this all is new to me 
       
      thank you in advance y’all
