The key was already sheared. this is why it kicked back when you started it. keys are designed to fail in the middle cleanly if they are to fail at all. make sure the flywheel retaining hardware is properly torqued and loctited
Yamaha kodiak 400 starts then when u put it into gear and drive after a minite it reves up and stalls
The timing marks were probably not set right when the timing chain was changed. This will cause the timing to be off and can result in backfiring and loss of power.
No. A worn timing chain or belt would cause timing to jump.
How do you adjust tbe clutch on a yamaha vstar
wrong timing can cause any engine to over heat. in fact if the timing is off it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.
Timing chain or belt is broken
Incorrect Timing Can Cause Backfire.
cause
worn or loose timing belt?
if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
I believe you need to replace a timing belt. Cause it uses timing chain which doesn't required to change as timing belt.
The only reason the timing would have jumped is if the belt has lost some teeth which it will do right before it breaks. The timing belt should be replaced before the car is driven or the motor started again. If the belt breaks while the engine is running, it can cause major damage to the head and possibly the block.
