Hi.
Need help! I just bought my KTM EXC-F 250-07 and it is very hard to start. I opened the top cover to check the valve clearance. I cranked the engine to TDC, the piston in top, i can see the groove in the crank for the crank locking bolt. Checking the marks on cams they are pointing away from each other! I have read in many places that they should be pointing towards each other when the engine is in TDC. When I turn the engine until the marks points towards each other the cam lobe on the intake is pointing straight up. Is this right? Attach a few photos.
