Oh a thousand thank yous. Going back out there with a confidence instilled by your kindness in offering up the sacred knowledge and workings of the Grande Subaru. While I was waiting for any kind of help or revelation to come from my experience with other engines, I took the time to degrease the engine while all apart. I read, while searching similar threads, of the option of running without the covers over the belts. Hmmm . My old Harley ran good without a cover over the primary belt. Never even got my pants caught up in there. Can anyone foresee any kind of problem that might arise from running open belts?

``Hi Subaroosters, It took a few misdiagnosis before discovering the true nature of the problem that presented itself on the Hastings offramp. At first It looked like I was just out of gas. When it still would not start, off came the coil wire, turned around and nestled uptop of the srtut tower , tucked close to a nut that was grounded. I cranked the starter with the key, craning my neck around to see over the hood. No spark!!! Hmmm. BCAA came to the rescue and after a few tests for conductivity I was well on my way down the wrong path. After the tow home I started getting prices for the module. Why do they say "do not remove":-\ ? I really hope I haven't screwed it up. The quotes I got left me praying that there may be some way to fix the module. : I took the prayers and the module to my neighbor who is a pastor but what's more, has a multi tester. There was no need of a resurection after all as he pronounced them alive and well after all. So there I am putting the distributor back in, making sure it is in the exact position. Everything is hooked back up and still no spark.A bit more fooling around, craning my neck around to see while cranking. Hey!!! the distributor aint turning. :-\ Yikes!!!!! What have I done???? The modules??? Did something drop off the distributor I didn't see??? What's goin' on??? Well finally after a few hours of being that stupid I made the timing belt discovery. Now.... After all that!!!!! My question is, how do I make sure that the cam and thecrank are lined up?? I put the crank to top dead center I expect, but is there some marks for the camgear?? the distributor should just point at #1 I guess but rather than guessing, does anyone out there know exactly what to do in this respect???? I would be grateful to know.

my gl has been having fuel issues when it gets warm.starves for gas. any hill makes it jerkwith whiplash frenzy then die. will start with clutch in but dies at any attempt to move. replaced fuel filter, pump seems to be working so I have taken the carb off and there was lotsa crud in the reservior and the needle valve its dark and I hope no parts sprang off but need some sort of diagram to check if I'm doing it right. need to fix to get to work in morn. pleeeeze help!!!! does anyone know where I can look at a carb diagram online?
