engine wouldn't run below 3000 rpm...after starting by pushing
after swapping cables wouldn't start at all :-k
if engine runs and pull out one cable engine stops (running on both cylinders just before):-&
when spark plug gap decreased on 0.3, working, able to start by kick but below 5000 mumbling. above 5000 running as it should
swapped CDI with other one, same thing
any ideas

right crank is in advance for 5 degrees approx as I was replacing middle bearings (crankcase water leak)
engine running fine with old crank

lad who took the crank apart did a good job cause all marks matched itself as it was before disassembling.
the other guy did the 'deflections' but my mistake was not checking the marks again
