Had to have 17798 towed from Alamagordo after it died at 10:30 PM on the way back from White Sands. In the dark it was a head scratcher as we appeared to have spark, but the timing had gone way off, suddenly. In the light of day I could see that the cogged pulley on the jack shaft was loose and wiggled fore and aft. So, the shaft was turning enough to show a spark often enough to appear legit. Any input as to what I might find when I get the pulley off and how to avoid this trauma in the future would be most welcome. The bolt holding the pulley on is still tight. I can't recall ever having that pulley off, but I have had the ones off the camshafts. It seems that there was nothing behind that pulley for the bolt to force it against, but will know more when I get the book out and a good look at things. The Lord only, knows where the key went, if it was ever there. Thank you for any and all responses.
