Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) FGC15:
timing and another

Replacing the distributor cap rotor button, plugs, and wires.
Is there a special way to time the engine or can i use a normal timing light like a car.

Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
The contact points and spark plugs were so burnt out and my boss wanted to replace them basically. Im going to check the timing and everything tomorrow when I go in with a timing light.

Thank you everyone for your help

Both of these motors these do need a good hot battery to and have to spin pretty fast to fire.
As both of these are timing belt motors, have you checked the timing belts? and their respective crank and cam marks?
what made you decide to replace the distributor assembly?
