Well I loosened the engine mount bolts and moved it forward to tighten up the chain. Took it for another test drive a few minutes ago and the bolt loosened up on me again. This time it lasted about 30 yards...

Just took it for a test drive and the bolt did not loosen itself, but the chain came off. I am thinking the chain is too loose and its jumping off the sprocket.

i have the bolt that says what the crankshaft is threaded for. I am putting enough loctite to get all the threads. By wiggly, I mean i can move the bolt up, down, and to the sides. but the farther I go into the shaft, the more stable the bolt gets. It is weird. The bolt does not come loose while...

tomorrow, I am going to run by home depot or lowes and get a longer bolt to see if that helps any. It seems the bolt is a little wiggly where its at right now, which I think could be causing it to rattle loose.

the engine turns counterclockwise while the bolt turns clockwise to tighten. the clutch drum moves freely, but the clutch itself does not.

I just dont get how the bolt could still be loosening itself. I have the right hardware, i have a lock washer, and I have loctite on the bolt. Doesn't make any sense!!!

I got everything put back together and the bolt is still backing out. I got the correct set screws and key stock. I put everything back on yesterday and let the loctite sit till i got home from work today ( 20 or so hours ). I literally went about 20 yards and the bolt loosened and the chain...

Sold!!!!

yeah I am going to check ACE Hardware tomorrow. Lowes and Home Depot had set screws all around the size I needed, but did not have the size I needed. Doesn't that just make you mad....

the bolt is 3/8x24. I have right bolt. I got some key stock, so I am going to cut what I need and put that in there. Does that bolt that's there instead of the other set screw going to make a difference. Its the same size and everything it just has a head...

Ok, well ill get back with yall in a few days and tell yall how it went. thanks for all the help!

What is the PTO?

I am going to get correct set screw, some key stock, and re-do everything including making sure the cranshaft is dry when I put loctite on the bolt to hold the drum on. I will try to do this tomorrow after class, and i will test drive it again tuesday to see how it goes. Hopefully this will fix it.

so those things described above are prolly the things causing the bolt to back up?

the clutch did not come with a key...
