Hijet s83 won’t start

    Hey there,
    I recently replaced the waterpump and timing belt on my hijet s83.
    -Made sure timing marks on cam, crank and flywheel are in the right spots….and put belt back on.(did it several times)
    -Now it won’t start and is backfiring occasionally out of the carburetor.

    After telling my dad he said he expediently cranked it over for a second when the timing belt was off. Could’ve that broken anything?
    Cheers

    Turning it over without a timing belt could of bent valves.

    #2 and #3 Zero

    Where is the best place to get parts online?
