IMPOSSIBLE BRO ;D Maybe you mean you did not time it right but the CAM ONLY FITS ONE WAY, there is no way you can put a cam in wrong.

This is America there is always a way. What made you snap? You mean it was 180 degrees out? I too find it hard to believe it ran...

i have put the cam 180 degree opposite....
I also can't believe how well the engine ran...
It ran smooth and couldn't even tell the difference...
It idles fine... and revs up fine... everything was good...
only damage so far found is that one of the bearing ball is lost on the cam and not able to use it again...
well... I don't know how I have installed opposite way
well.... how I have found it installed wrong was that I was going to replace gasket for valve cover and I was concerned about cam shaft that I might have installed it wrong. so I have checked the camshaft and there it is .... 180 degree opposite from the TDC !
I remember I was rushed to assemble my bbk and don't remember how I have installed the cam.
now I know that it is very important to take time when you install bbk and make sure everything is done right way...

Eventhough new scooters are four-stroke, they fire the spark plug every 360 degrees of rotation. So even if you put the cam in 180 off, it will get the waste fire and still operate.

I too find that impossible, as the detonation will occur with the exhaust valve open 4 stroke = I.C.P.E.
I= intake- piston on down stroke Intake valve open.
C=compression-piston on up stroke- valves closed.
P=power-detonation pushes piston down
E=exhaust- Piston on upstroke-exhaust valve open.
Even with the cdi firing on every revolution, It should not run.

I pulled out one of my stock cam's and looked at it, pictured it 180 degrees out, I honestly can't see how it ran at all....
