How do you set timing on 1987 sp 200 suzuki?

If you are talking about ignition timing then the answer is easy. You don't. Suzuki's PEI (Pointless Electronic Ignition) takes care of timing the spark. If you are talking about valve timing-resubmit and I will take a stab at explaining it. There is no way to remap the electronic ignition system to change the spark timing.


How Combustion lag and ignition timing are connected?

Combustion lag refers to the time between spark(ignition) and the highest combustion pressure in an engine. Ignition timing refers to how many degrees before top dead center(top dead center compression in 4 strokes) the crankshaft rotation is during ignition. These two are connected by timing your ignition on point with combustion lag characteristics to tune ignition timing and gain max volumetric efficiency out of an engine. Timing advances (ignites farther from tdc) as rpm's increase.

Can timing belt be the reason for no spark?

I would think not. The timimg belt correctly times the ignition to allow the engine to run. No spark would have to be a problem in the primary or secondary ignition system componets. However a broken timing belt would not allow the input of ignition componets due to lack of rotation.
