Hi, looking for some help please.

I have change the cam on my GX160 for a GX200 cam.
I followed the instructions in the tech section (which covers the conrod change) but the engine will not start once everything is back together.

I made sure the timing punches lined up but nothing. I know the crank does 2 turns per turn of the cam so have I perhaps got the timing out by 180 degrees??

I have check spark and there is one and can smell fuel - guess if the above timing issue isn't an issue there could be a carb issue as the fuel smell isn't too strong.

Also change springs at the same time but this should have no impact I would assume.

Would welcome any suggestions please.

Thanks

Paul
