Timing cannot be off by 180 degrees - whether the cam timing is set at TDC of the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke, TDC is TDC - the spark timing is set by the crankshaft and it fires on both the compression and exhaust stroke.
Chains do not stretch - they wear out - you did not replace the chain because of wear, something else happened - either the chain broke or it jumped time - either way, it may have caused a bent valve.
Lock the crankshaft at TDC of the compression stroke and use compressed air through the spark plug hole to see if it exits via the intake or exhaust - once determined what the problem is, proceed to fix it.
Yea I have to
I’m a 14 yo that fixes my own crap and I work all summer just to afford this stuff and I really appreciate y’all helping me
I have almost 3k in the bike rn😅
I don’t know how but I find the biggest piles of crap to buy haha
Sometimes in fixing one thing I break another so it’s partly my fault and I think that’s what happened here with the bent valve

We will be adding to this directory constantly. So if you need ATV used parts for that Arctic Cat, Kawasaki, Polaris, Suzuki, Yamaha, or other brand - check back here often.
I have done business with Willie's - never had a problem - have also dealt with Steve's in GA, OZ in KS, MotoLane now located in Illiopolis, IL and a Cycle Salvage Racing in Guntown, MS.
I'm sure it happens as I replaced ONE failed automatic tensioner in 40 years of working on motorcycles and ATV's, but they are not the biggest cause of chains jumping timing. The biggest cause of chains jumping time is a worn chain that does not fit the sprockets. Chains do not stretch, they wear out due to infrequent oil changes and over tensioning with improperly adjusted manual tensioners.
Did you Google that? Google ARTEMAN'S CYCLE REPAIR in Clinton, IL it is also permanently closed but open 7 days a week - it's a problem Google caused and legislators refused to rectify, so business owners edited their profiles and marked them permanently closed although they remain open - Bing and Yelp still have it mostly right, but does not harass the businesses as Google did.
Ebay,Partzilla.com is my go to for all my parts .
Needed a brake lever for a new project and OEM is $104 got a good use OEM one for $25 with free shipping on ebay.
