98 Tracker Sluggish, misfire

[fixkick]

so you you have a new crankshaft, and perfect keyed snout?

one way for the distrib to be stuck at end of range, (flange bolt slot)
is this. seen this , it is 2020 problem modern problem.
1: new cam or head, or rebuilt. (or whole engine)
2: the new cam is from China, (clones) none made here, nor sold at suzuki USA , shows discontinued 1271056B01 , but sells head for $2000 !
3: unlike SUZUKI, china sells them with no gear on the end. OUCH and OOPS.
4: suzuk does not do that so does not cover how to put the gear on the end in the CORRECT way (timed)
5: there are 13 teeth so if off half a tooth , yeah distrib bottoms out. there I told this nastly little fact so common today.
.
1/2 a tooth is 13degrees off, at cam,and distrib at crank 2 times that. crank turns 2times CAM. (or for 0 to 13degrees cam error)
this is no problem for the cam , it has keys up front but not that DIZZY, lucky you it was not so off, the 5degBTDC as possible.
seen some guys even cut up the distrib flange to gain, right timing. 5deg.
CHina does it again, and again.
