Pull it apart again and reset the timing as you are out 180 degrees . Place the piston on top DC with the valves in the valve rock position . ( exhaust nearly closed with inlet just starting to open) This will align the timing marks between the crank gear and the cam gear.

Testimonial: "I timed it this way still will not start i am not doing something right"

    the other things that will do what you describe is that the spark from the flywheel magneto is out .( Key missing from shaft) valve clearance is out , valve bent , bad valve seat. . Check the position of the flywheel when on TDC firing as the magnet part should be around the coil bridge laminations

SOURCE: engine Back fired, blew out muffler.

Sounds like you may have gotten some debris in your exhaust pipe or something was clogging your muffler. Maybe the innerds of you Catalytic Coverter went and got stuck or the innerds of your muffler gave out. That would be the only few things I could think of to cause something like that.

Sincerely,

JC

SOURCE: engine cranks car won't start

Sorry..... 1 notch off is just not good enough. It has to be exact , then if it doesn't run start looking at other posibilities.

Remember that the camshaft turns twice eash time the crank turns once. The distributor rotor works off a gear on the cam.
Your rotor could be off a bit , or it could look exactly perfect the way it was when tou took it out , and still be 180 degrees off.
You have to get your engine to "top dead center" and make sure everything is the way it should be.

A timing chain ( or belt ) can cause permanent and fatal damage to the valve train and pistons in motors that are "interference engines" Find out weather yours is. In a non-interference engine , the clearance between the valves and the pistons is large enough to alow them to move out of time without crashing into each other. An interference engine is not so forgiving.

The fact that your engine cranks makes me hopefull that it is a non interference engine , and that damage has not been done.

Try to find a haynes manual for you vehicle , it will walk you through the steps for most repairs.

SOURCE: i put in a new cam shaft sensor and the engine

yes...replacing the cam sensor is just like a distributor

however, additionally, you need to reset the timing via a scan tool

SOURCE: 2000 ford explorer ohv 4.0I replaced head gasket.

Do a compresion check, if Ok then timing chain is ok, try some throtle body cleaner trough a vac. hose while cranking if stars, fuel pump is out, another way if you have no codes the most poss. cuase is your fuel pump, check press is gauge handy

How easy is it to replace Alko lawn tractor Briggs and Stratton engine?

They are pretty basic, especially if the replacement engine is complete with carburator and exhaust. There should be 4 bolts that hold the engine to the mower, the electrical connectors for the ignition and starter, the throttle cable, & the belt pulley on the crank shaft. If you take good notes and pictures of the old engine before you remove it, just make sure the new engine goes back on the same.

Briggs and Stratton 10 hp flathead seams to have too much compression to start easily

Could be the wrong gasket or the timing is out slightly. Also sometimes the exhaust ( muffler ) needs to be changed. Try taking it off , disconnect the spark plug wires and see if it turns easier. If so then your problem lies there.

I have a petrol golf cart wont start

Brian, If engine is of overhead valve type and engine turns over with plug out and will not crank when plug in or turns very slow, the problem is probable valve adjustment required or decompression release faulty on cam shaft. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Truck wont crank. we have put new distributor cap, rotor button, coil pack, plugs, wires, and fuel pump. we also checked our firing order.

you said you repl dist cap that means you don't have a crank sensor you have electronic ing module. remove your elec ing module have it tested most auto parts stores could test your module, or check your coil at the neg terminal. should have power. if not you lost your primary volt from your batt.your secondary power is coming from your electronic ing module from the module to the pos terminal on the coil, when the eng cranks,from the coil to the dist cap , from the dist cap center to the rotor then out to the plugs,this all happen pervided the timing belt or timing chain is ok. the cumbustion chainber needs 3 things , thats fuel, air, and spark.
