I paniced when turning the belt I installed as the marks didn't align, pulled it, and manually set the sprockets to the timing marks. not sure if i set them all to the same spot in terms of where they are in the revolution.....
Here is what I plan to do.
First, be sure the crankshaft is at TDC as follows:
[Response: Don Foster] Pull plug #1 and stick your finger in the hole. Turn the front pulley with a socket wrench until you see the timing mark (front of timing belt cover and on front pulley) coming up on 0 degrees. If you feel no pressure in cylinder #1, then it's TDC but on the exhaust/intake stroke.
Continue turning the front pulley until you feel pressure on your finger as you approach 0 degrees. At 0 degress, you're at TDC for #1.
Remember that as you replace the belt, you should "fine tune" setting the crank and cam at their alignment marks (the I-shaft isn't important on a 700, but it's good practice to do it).
I will also check the rotor to be sure we are pionting in the right direction.
Then, make sure the camshaft sprocket and intermediate sprocket are on the marks, reinstall the belt and motor happily away. Will this work?
Thanks for the continuing help!!!
