Motor issues! Please help.
hi guys- looking for a little bit of direction.
Last year I was riding at the dunes with my 03 canibal and was running good. When I went to launch real hard from a dead stop it took off and then died a few seconds later.
What I think happened was I spun the timing gear on the crank since I have done that a few times on my stroker motor on my rhino until we welded. It will crank over but not start. After a few cranks it will back fire. So it really sounds like the timing is way off.
So since I know NOTHING about this motor can someone tell me what I should look for when I tear into this.
How do I even check the timing on this motor?
If it is the timing gear- what's next? pull the complete motor out and ??? should I just weld this crank and be good? or will not know until I pull it?
Thanks for the help. I run a forum myself helping the UTV guys www.sxs411.com but don't know much about this Cannondale motor what so ever. I'm guessing if I can rebuild a Rhino motor this shouldn't be too hard either?
Really what Im looking to do is just get it running to sell it or trade it- looking to get another dirtbike.
So if anyone can help me; it would mean alot.
Thanks!!
