I also had a flywheel with the keyway in the wrong position. I took it to my local machine shop and they cut a new keyway in the correct location and only charged me $40. Highly recommend this fix, the engine runs perfectly and I can feel confident that there won’t be any issues in the future . I depend on this engine every day, because I do commercial pressure washing, and it runs about 4 to 6 hours a day 5 days a week and I don’t have a backup engine.

The other runs the new electric switch. I just clipped old switch wire and left it run through original diode for low oil. Also weird was the white wire coded to brown for charging coil. I havent started it yet. Going to buy a new spark plug and wire for charger. I was going to say. A 2 5/8 " hole saw worked . Wouldnt have known that had I not watched your video.

Fyi if you take a piece of notebook paper and fold it in half, it makes for a good shim to set the gap of the ignition coil to the flywheel. Just loosen the screws with the paper between the coil and the magnet of the flywheel, and let the magnet pull the coil to the flywheel. Tighten the screws and rotate the paper out.

So if the only problem you had was alignment of the starter, the solution would be to properly locate that first small hole you drill prior to using the hole saw. That will get the starter motor on the proper centre. How would you propose doing that, in hindsight? I ask in all seriousness, because I have this to do actually myself, once the starter kit arrives.

That wasn’t really an issue. If I had opened up the hole a tad larger which I ended up doing would have been fine. The holes that come from the factory were slightly larger which allowed the starter to rotate. It really wasn’t hard to install and adjust the starter. I would absolutely purchase it again if I needed to. 😊🤙🏻

Just loosen the starter up and rotate it slightly. There’s a little bit of play in the bolt holes. On mine it wouldn’t spin the engine so I had to rotate it.
Fyi if you take a piece of notebook paper and fold it in half, it makes for a good shim to set the gap of the ignition coil to the flywheel. Just loosen the screws with the paper between the coil and the magnet of the flywheel, and let the magnet pull the coil to the flywheel. Tighten the screws and rotate the paper out.

So if the only problem you had was alignment of the starter, the solution would be to properly locate that first small hole you drill prior to using the hole saw. That will get the starter motor on the proper centre. How would you propose doing that, in hindsight? I ask in all seriousness, because I have this to do actually myself, once the starter kit arrives.
@magicman_metal_fab
Жыл бұрын
That wasn’t really an issue. If I had opened up the hole a tad larger which I ended up doing would have been fine. The holes that come from the factory were slightly larger which allowed the starter to rotate. It really wasn’t hard to install and adjust the starter. I would absolutely purchase it again if I needed to. 😊🤙🏻
Hey again what did you do with the Black and Red wire that was on the old off on switch? Do you just leave them hang? I know the Yellow goes to the split black wire and the oil switch but i dont see you doing anything with the Black and Red wire off the old on off switch that was on the case.

I’m installing this kit today, I have taking everything apart. Everything looks like it works fine except for the coil. Where my coil mounts and the coil they gave me in the kit will not lineup to put my screws in,, is it possible that I can you reuse my old coil with this electric start kit?
