wheelly 0 #1 Posted August 23, 2010 Did techy put out counterclockwise engine? Pick up a lawn ranger and looks to have a short block installed. I had no spark so new points and condenser took care of that. Still no fire no matter what i did and i'm good at getting anything running on small engines. took the plug out for the 30th time and rotated engine. the intake valve is open when piston is coming up. if u turn engine counterclockwise everything moves when it is supposed to. this is either a counterclockwise engine or the cam is 180 off. they used the oringinal covers so there is no id tag for the shortblock. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #2 Posted August 23, 2010 There should be timing marks (round dimples) on the gears inside the case. If you think timing is off 180deg, that should tell you the story. Also the points drag thingy on the crankshaft should tell you which way the motor spins also. You could also check by the recoil. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelly 0 #3 Posted August 23, 2010 Trying to get the pully of the crank but is going to have to soak the rest of the day and night. I already broke it so i need to get another. Once i get inside i know i can tell the real story. I was interested if they put out a counterclockwise engine cause if they did i'm wasting my time. Don't think i want 3 reverse speeds and 1 forward. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
