Any mods done to the carb after top end rebuild? You will at least require different jetting if using the stock carb, if not having to switch to different carb all together. I'm not familiar with this bike or the mods but if u haven't done anything to the carb/jetting to accomedate the increase in displacement you most definitely will have to change it to run right. As far as timing if it is like it is on the 125 then there are two round covers on the left engine case above the shifter... One big and one small, you have to remove them, the big one allows you to turn the crank and the small one is a site hole with an index point for TDC... Also you have to remove the side cover for the cam sprocket on the cylinder head.... With the crank lined up at TDC the cam sprocket has a mark that should be lined up with the index mark on the cylinder head... Don't know if this will help but if this is like the 125 and it is all lined up you know it's timed...
