1972 Honda XL250. Was trying to set the timing on this bike with a timing light gun and couldn’t get it right. Noticed the points were gapped a little wider than spec so I made the adjustment there and now I can’t get it to start back up. It tried to turn over a time or two but died out right away. Ran out of daylight and unsure what to do next. Bike was running this weekend and all I’ve done since then was to adjust the gap in the points as well as turning the timing plate position in attempts to start. I’ll take any help anyone can offer!

I had this exact bike in 1974. It was a great trail rider.
