Last summer an engine warning light appeared and a faulty timing chain diagnosed.

The fuel pump runs from the cam belt and therefore pumps fuel in direct proportion to the revs of the engine.

To compliment these kits there is a full range of power pulleys, oil pumps, stem seals, head stretch bolts and cam belts.

On all Ducatis, loose cam belts advance the cam timing in a static setting, and, it would appear, when the engine is running.

The later engines have a modified cam drive and cam belt arrangement, which appears to have been carried over onto the Ecotec engine.
