Warrior 350 Ignition Timing

I bought and imported a CDI for a Warrior 350 from RM Stators. It gives spark on the plug, but will not start. After quite a bit of fault finding, we hooked up a timing light and saw the ignition timing was about 30 degrees too early. I removed the magneto cover and had a look at the static timing. The cdi fired when the beginning (A)of the metal strip on the flywheel moved past the pickup, but to be on time, it must only fire when the pickup is at the end (B) of the strip. According to my knowledge, it must fire at the beginning (A)of the strip. The key, valve timing and everything else is fine. Anybody got an idea?

Make sure all your parts are from the same year warrior. Timing can be a pain as its not adjustable.

Ok, I have found the solution. I swopped the trigger coil's two wires (white and red) around and the timing was perfect. It does not make sense, but it works. Thanks.

This was EXACTLY my solution. Installed new stator. For the life of it would not start. Had spark, fuel, compression. Messed with it for two hours and was so upset and depressed. Googled warrior ignition timing and this thread popped up. Swapped the wires in the plug and BAM! Thing fires right up and runs like a top. Good find whoever figured this out! I know it probably wasn’t easy to find. Thanks!

Quick question it has nothing to do with this, but I recently purchased a locked warrior 350 and I’ve bought a stroker crank shaft and a wiseco 12:1 cr piston but idk if I should be worried about the piston or having to get the top end cnced??
