That could happen if the timing belt slipped time. Something similar happened to a Nissan 3.0 liter I worked on a couple years ago. If the timing only skips a couple teeth it may only be off in one place. The car I was working on had a worn out timing belt tensioner pulley that caused the problem.

Where is the timing mark located for a 2005 Yamaha bruin 350?

To find the crank timing mark, you must remove the pull rope housing. It is held by 4 bolts. Once it is removed you will see a plastic plug that can be removed with a flat head screwdriver. As for the camshaft mark. it can be found after removing the cam sproket cover. You will see the mark at the top center of the hole. The cam sproket has a line on it that must be aligned with mark at top of cam sproket hole. The line can be difficult to see until you remove cam sproket bolt.

How do you replace the cam shaft sensor in a 2000 VW Beetle?

I have a '98 VW Beetle with a Engine Check Light fault 0341 or Cam Position sensor problem. I have had this problem for about 40,000 miles and at times have tried to fix it. In responding to your "how to" request let me first say that the Beetle uses the cam position sensor to fine tune the gasoline mixture and spark to real-life driving conditions. In the event the cam position sensor stops working, the computer control system simply reverts to a built-in database of mixture and spark settings. These are just fine but may result in some increased gasoline consumption. Now for the fix-it suggestions: a faulty cam position sensor is not very common by what I have read. But the cam position sensor fault can be a result of in improperly tensioned or timed, toothed cam belt. In addition, the cam position sensor fault seems to be commonly caused because of frayed or otherwise faulty wiring from the sensor to its' connection into the wiring harness. To replace the sensor, you must remove the toothed cam belt (loosen the tensioner and pull the belt off of the cam sprocket) and the cam sprocket. The sensor is located behind the sprocket - it is easily replaced. Althought this may seem daunting, the hard part is relocating the cam sprocket correctly to the cam shaft. You see, there is no key or fixed marks to get it back on correctly. I do recommend that you get a repair book to try the yourself. The VW book is somewhat difficult to use and I have never looked at the Haynes manuals.

Count the number of teeth you have on the motor side sproket, divide that by the number of teeth you have on the rear sproket. IE 11 on motor side divided by 53 on rear sproket = 4.81 : 1 (use the first 2#s after "." )


Can you just replaced parts like chain sproket etc from local retail stores?

This depends on what chain and sprocket we are talking about. The chain and sprockets on a motor cycle tend to be available through motorcycle part retail stores very easily. The chains and sprockets from inside an engine may dealer only or available retail
