Where is the generator on a B5100 2 cyl engine

If I turn the engine "crank" over 5 times and the timing marks never get closer than 1 to 2 teeth off, I can assume it is out of time, I think. I am going to pull the water pump drive gear as it is used to turn the fuel cam and the valve cam and put the cams back in time.

Yes I did drain all the fuel and put new fuel in the same result when you try to start it the engine acts like the fuel or valves are out of sync as the engine kicks back like a gas engine does when it is out of time.

I can get a picture today some time. and post it

Thanks so much for the timing diagram. It looks like all the dots on the big idler gear are off by a tooth or 2. But none of the teeth are damaged so nI don't know how it got a tooth or 2 off. I am going to delay putting it back together to see if I can find out why it has jumped timing. Thanks...

Does anyone know how to set the valve cam timing and the fuel cam timing on a L185/L1501 engine I have the front cover off and they are gear driven off an idler from the crank. The idler has dots a single dot, 2 dots, and 3 dots. Just not sure how to set them. carhartfarm:confused:

I came to that conclusion also so looking at some Kubota drawings it looks like there are 2 cams one for the fuel and one for the valve train. Can I pull the front cover without hurting any thing or need any special tools to get it back together. Also the large pullley on the crank does it just...

I have checked the injectors they are both working fine I am getting fuel into the cylinders and the valves are working OK. When you try ti start it it sounds like a gas engine that the ignition is retarded, like it turns fast then slow like the timing of the valves or ingnition is happening at...

I only have a compression gage I can hold in the injector hole it reads 100--120 but blows out of the hole because I can't hold it in. So it is probably higher. I will test the injectors spray and try to bleed the pump but not sure how to bleed just the pump. the carhartfarm

I have a L1501DT it was running fine and all of a suden it stalled. I have not been able to start it since. It just blows black some like it is getting to much fuel. I checked the fuel filter cracked the fuel line going to the injectors, and have fuel there. pulled the injectors out and checked...

I am looking for the right front wheel gear housing for a L1501dt or L185DT will the 175 parts fit? I need the whole wheel housing and gears that connect the front axel housing to the wheel. there are a few beveled gears that are inside the housing. carhartfarm
