Hellion , you certain do nice work and did a great job on the logo. Now if you could just get this to print out I would appreciate it. The china copy is just like this.

Mystery solved you have a 16mm shaft. You aren't the first to use the magic hammer to get it on. Getting it off is going to be the ***** and most likely the drum no longer free spins on the sleeve but it is a lesson learned and you are wiser for it, we hope.

Several ways the crank can get worn down and Hellion has one example. The most common one is that crank you got came rom an engine that had the clutch mounted OUTBOARD and he wore the bushing out in the clutch and then the sprocket started wearing on the sleeve and then wore into the crank...

I think he must be from Atlanta that is where you get neat crankshafts.

Well let's just check out the china clutch to see what you have. Take a penny and see if it fits nicely into both ends of the clutch. A penny is exactly .750 (3/4" ) in diameter and is a great measuring device. If the penny fits in the clutch then you know the new clutch has the correct...

Measure the crankshaft diameter so we have a clue what you are talking about. Sounds like you got a 5/8" or metric crank and not the 3/4" (.750) you thought you were buying. Where did you buy it from is another question? See if the bolt you had holding on the clutch before fits the new...

Good looking car Denny. Was going to have you stop by for a tour and pick up some steel cut-offs for projects but you made the trip before I could make the suggestion. You can give the dog a treat, he has a good eye for beauty.

There is over 50 guys there in Ohio that are members of the VKA (Vintage Karting Association) with a web site with the same name. They could tell you where every nut and bolt go. Just about to go down to a race by the VKA in Barnesville, GA on April 9, 10, &11. There are several gatherings in...

The Foreigner (2017) is a high-octane action-thriller directed by Martin Campbell, starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. The plot follows a London businessman (Chan) who seeks vengeance against the IRA radicals responsible for his daughter’s death, leading to a deadly showdown with a British...

Nitric acid is used to create many different types of explosives like nitroglycerin and trinitroglycerin (TNT). These are military grade and used for national defense. Be inventive, EZCOME-EZGO you will come up with something in your lab. I got a couple bags of fertilizer you can mix with it...

Thank you for the fine compliments. Wish I could take credit for the design but the original owner, George Fields, came up with that design in 1970 and it is the most copied clutch out there. My biggest competitor, Comet, copied it in 1983 and the china boys have also done the same. The...

The smallest 3/4" crankshaft sprocket you can get with a needle bearing is a 13 tooth. All 12 tooth sprockets in the #35 with be a bushing. BUT neither the bushing or the needle bearing are doing anything once you are moving. They are non-functional while moving, they only come into play at...

Ramp is on the wrong side for an outboard mount. Wrong spring or flip it around 180 degrees so the ramps are next to the engine. In your picture I consider that an outboard mount but based on the way the ramps move you would have to reverse that unit to have it work correctly.

If you are not familiar with Facebook Market Place it is really something. Changes everyday with new stuff and a lot of FREE stuff especially old snow throwers and lawnmowers that no longer work. Old people like myself that have a table saw in the basement and they are moving find that no one...

Go to Facebook market place and you will find one close by and many times they are FREE because they are moving and young people don't want or know how to turn them on.
