BF100 Honda Timing?

[10X]

My timing belt slipped off the flywheel when I caught a red rag under it while turning it over. I couldn’t find any timing marks and thought I replaced it correctly. When I used the motor this weekend it took quite a while to start and it would spit back out of the carb. When it finally started it didn’t have much top end power or speed. <br /><br />Will this engine run one tooth off? <br /><br />Where are the timing marks?<br /><br />Thanks Harry

Under the rewind and on the cam pulley.Got a manual? Points or CDI?

No, I don't have a manual. Do not know Points or CDI. How do I tell? Do I have to pull the rewind to see the marks? Thanks red.<br />Harry

I found the marks on the flywheel. There is an F and a T. Which one do I use? On the cam pulley there is a 1 and an eagle. I am looking at the engine lying on its side with the starter on. This isn’t the best angle to view the marks. It seems the eagle lines up best. <br />What is right and what is wrong?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Harry

Look under the rubber disk covering the cam pulley for points or pulser coil.Can you rig up a stand to mount the motor upright?

Re: BF100 Honda Timing?

Thanks red,<br /><br />I got to a good thread on these motors and figured out how to time it and where the points are. It was a tooth out and I cleaned the points. I haven’t tried to start it yet but I will tomorrow. I will get it on the boat and start it in a 30 gal. drum.<br /><br />How do you check and replace, if needed, the oil pressure light bulb? <br />It is not working. It seems to have oil pressure (no rattling or loss of power etc.)<br /><br />The kill switch fell out and I have the rubber cover and a plastic and brass pin. Is there a spring that is supposed to be in there also?<br /><br />Thanks again<br /> Harry

Re: BF100 Honda Timing?

Congratulations on the timing.The oil pressure switch(sending unit) is ground& the charging coil is the hot; the lens unscrews to access the bulb on the older models.. I haven't had a kill switch apart and the manual doesn't show a disassembly, but I would assume some kind of spring and keeper..
