new 400 is running.. but not very good...

busted right off yesterday, but i could not hardly keep it running.. timing seemed retarded.. but advancing it only caused it to backfire through the carb. Aircleaner lid got really hot.

I think I have some rockers too tight..

But, after 6+ months, it's almost ready to roar again.
