I just acquired a Toyota tow motor model 02-3fgc10 that is in really nice shape but will not start
It is an LPG model, a service guy that looked at it where I work said it had a broken crank
I bought it and started to repair it
The crank is not broken
The motor cranks but will not even try to fire
I would like to find a manual if possible
I believe the motor has jumped time between the crank and camshaft
If i run the number 1 piston to top dead center,timing marks line up and both valves closed the distributor is not pointing to the number one terminal marked on the cap
If I change the plug wires to be correct 1-3-4-2 with where the timing marks are set to top for number one and both valves closed it still won't try to fire
Any ideas would sure be appreciated
I am going to pull the valve cover to make sure I am getting both valves closed.
right now I am looking in thru oil cab
