Re: G16 cam help
Do the pushrods move at all when you turn the motor over?

Re: G16 cam help
No push rods do not move
I have been doing some research and I found someone that posted something similar Said it was striped cam gears? What do you think |

Re: G16 cam help
If the rods aren't moving, the cam isn't turning. You'll need to pull the side cover to find out why.

Re: G16 cam help
One of the G16 guys here can give you all the specifics, but I'm sure the motor will need to come out.

Re: G16 cam help
It takes less than 1/2hr to remove the motor(providing its not a rusty mess),not worth the hassle of trying to do anything to it in the cart.Unhook the belts,wiring,fuel-lines,throttle-cable and unbolt the generator(leave it wired up,just move it away).Unbolt the 4 cradle-mounts from the frame and lift the whole thing out.If you go thru the hassle of a tear-down in the cart,and the block or crank is damaged,you will be removing it anyway.Either the cam-gear is damaged,or the camshaft snapped.Hope this helps.

Re: G16 cam help
Thank you for the response
If the cam gears are bad does that require me to replace the crank also or does the gear come off. Also if it is the gears What would cause this I'm in flat florida No high speed down hills here Is it a hard job to replace them Thanks again |

I think once you open it up, you'll have more information.
