if it's drivable at high revs wouldn't that point to timing being far too advanced? . . . . .i've seen a few people get the belts wrong on these mate . .

Hmm, the pump is in the middle of the timing adustment slot. There is no low down torque (hardly) but it seems normal at higher revs. The only method I've got of timing the engine is to drop the bolts through the holes in the sprockets, theres nothing else for reference. And everytime that is what I've done, TBH.

I fixed mine the other day.








New engine

If I could afford 150+ pounds then I would. But there has got to be an answer for this, it's not just some mystery incureable engine disease.
