My 50 died on me while mowing so I started with the normal stuff, check spark, check fuel, timing. Still nothing. So after dragging it into the garage I pulled the valve cover and spun the flywheel and saw no valve movement. Then I removed the access cover on top of the block and saw the cam gear was turning but the camshaft wasn't! I then drained the oil and found 2 bolt heads and part of the locking washer.
I'm a rookie on these motors, they just seem so different from upright inline motors. Do I approach this from the clutch side remoing the clutch and first reduction cover to access the cam bearing? Will that enable me to remove the camthrough the bearing opening and take the gear out the top access hole for examination?
I should probably look at the oil pump too. Is this common to these motors? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
