ZekeSkyree, you wouldn't happen to have a part number for the Exhaust Manifold Gasket, would you? Looks like I need one of them too. Or if anyone else happens to have it. this is the 1.6 Ford Industrial gas motor.

Thank you.

Yes I agree for long term it will be best to replace it. Of course, I'm sure most folks that have a Bobcat (or any kind of skidsteer) will agree that you need it now and can't wait to find suitable aftermarket parts that actually fit. So for short term I went ahead and cut the rod off and will...

I called my local Bobcat dealer and he said there wasn't any to be found so I cut the rod and put everything back together and it runs great. I would have never seen it in the back tords the block. Thank you very much for your help.

Ok, this does have the solenoid. What a bad place to put it. I have current to the solenoid but it is dead. Does anyone see any issues with cutting the rod? I dought that anyone will have this.

I would normally agree, but in this case, the machine was running for a few hours before this happened. so the motor and surroundings were warm, way above freezing. Plus , I keep plenty of heat in the gas just to make sure. I do appreciate the response though.

Hello, my Bobcat friends. I have a 632 Bobcat with the 1.6 Ford gas motor. I was plowing snow and it was running great, all of a sudden it stopped as if it ran out of gas. I checked the fuel and spark. I have a full tank of gas and plenty of spark. If I spray gas into the carb, it will take off...

Yes, mine is an inline 4. I have heard that early Pinto and Festa used this model, however when checking on parts, none of those fit mine. I went thru and checked the basics. Valve gaps, point gaps, exc.. Found that the timing was way too far advanced. At first check the , the timing was...

Does anyone have a picture of the engine breakdown for the Ford Industrial model 2274E / KSG416. I'm starting to think that I have a timing issue. Does this have gear to gear timing or a chain? When my issues started, I could hear a tinny noise and thinking it could be the chain hitting the...

Where did you purchase the Electronic Distributo? Do you have a web site and part number. Even if it ends up not being that, I would still like to get away from points and condensor.

brdgbldr, thank you for the specifications, that will be helpfull. cdmccul, i will check that but what is the meaning if it is wet?

Having issues with my 632 Bobcat. Starts right up but when it warms up, it flutters and misses. I have tuned the engine up with new Points, condenser, cap and rotor, plugs and fuel filter but still doesn't run smoot like it use to. I set the points at .025 but not sure if that is correct...
