Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Toro 524 snowblower cam timing, toro 524 snowblower, cam shaft


Question
Hi, I have a Toro 524 snowblower that I am rebuilding the engine on.  Its model number is 38040 and was manufactured in 1981 with a 5hp Tecumshe engine.  I cannot find how the cam timing is supposed to be set.  There is a mark on the cam gear but no mark on the crank gear.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Ryan...

Its there...look very closely at the camshaft gear.. it may be a straight line or small dot.  It needs to line up with the mark on the cam shaft.  

You gave me a great idea for my next weekly video tips video...

let me know either way if you can or can not find it please...I will find an engine and get you a pic if you cant find it.
