Re: Weedwhacker Engine Project
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. Anyway, I pulled out my handy dandy calipers and it looks like way back when I made the shaft I made it to .744 That's not going to work for a 3/4" clutch bearing to grab on. Is there any way to salvage this shaft without having to remachine a new one? Can I coat it in epoxy and then re-turn to .750? Will this work for the clutch bearing to grab on? Or will something like this work? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXJC35&P=ML I just don't know how I'd attach the spinner cone to the shaft though.

Or maybe it would be best to just figure out a way to mount the engine from the back so I can use the stock pull starter.
