ontherun987 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I just finished my weber install. it ran great for 4 minutes , then quit suddenly. I couldn't get it to start again, I thought the choke open and killed it. After playing with it for awhile checking fuel and spark, I noticed this. Awesome more fun coming right up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontherun987 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) What brand of timing belts should I buy, are these ok?

Expand Gates original, or Subaru Original are your best bet... Always change both timin' belts at the same time, if one fails, the other probably soon will do the same. Tensioners and pulleys also must be changed altogether. Gates TCK-299 is the ideal timing Kit for the EA82... Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have put 12,000 on it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get inside and figure why it snapped. It's usually one of the idlers, tensioners, or the fault of excessive oil and coolant soaking from leaks. It's possible to do the bare minimum and get back on the road. My guess is the lower cogged roller seized. It's the most usual suspect for an otherwise decent looking belt to break. Full job would be Belts, Tensioners, Idler roller, Cam seals and Cam cap large O-rings, Crank Seal. Also Oil pump shaft seal, O-ring, and "mickey mouse" formed gasket.

Steptoe Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) An 8 year+ belt As pic looks you got belt off without removing stuff like covers. No covers? Exposes belts to more elements to deal with for reliability. And HELLO Jeszek ! Edited May 23, 2019 by Steptoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
