ARRRRRRGH!!!! Spare motor rebuild thrown for a loop.

Post by douglas vincent »

So I started tearing down the spare motor out of my wifes old wagon tonight. Was going reasonably well, and I was extremely happy with the conditions of the heads and cylinder walls.

Then I had to look at the keyway in the crank.

Shot.

So thats why the wagon sometimes wouldnt start.

Crap.......

I do have a spare crank luckily, but I really didnt want to do a 100% rebuild, just rings.

Well, more money and time.

The keyway strikes again....

Thankfully it only struck Doug this time who can tear one down and rebuild it in no time.
