    Hunting On Idle, Difficult To Start - Since Belts Changed PH1 172

    Hunting On Idle, Difficult To Start - Since Belts Changed PH1 172

    Ok so the pulleys are timed too? Im lost, I locked the cams and the crank, slackened the pulleys, old belt off, new belt on, tensioned, torqued the pulleys and crank Do the ex and inlet pulleys have timing mark, even though they're free floating and the cams are locked?
