niftynoah 25 #26 Posted April 1, 2015 Are there any washers or anything between the nut that are missing?some engines that have starter cups and washers wont fit completely on right if the washers and starter cup are missing.yours being electric start wouldn't have a starter cup nut may be missing some kind of washers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhioGuy89 4 #27 Posted April 1, 2015 Hmm. I'll have to check. I have the plastic ring that goes on the innermost part of the shaft, and I have one washer that goes on the head of the bolt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niftynoah 25 #28 Posted April 1, 2015 just make that the nut tightens all the way down and pushes the flywheel towards the block as far as it will go.if this doesnt work than someone has messed with the crank and or flywheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhioGuy89 4 #29 Posted April 1, 2015 hmm. Ok. I tightened it down with my air gun, yet I can see the flywheel doesn't go fully onto the key. The only person who has messed with it is me, so I'm not sure what I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niftynoah 25 #30 Posted April 1, 2015 push back the flywheel by hand as far as you can go,then find some washers to fill up the space as best you can.then try.without looking at it myself i cant help too much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niftynoah 25 #31 Posted April 1, 2015 also make sure your flywheel key is fitting all the way down into the keyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #32 Posted April 1, 2015 I still think u have a problem internal. Put a socket on the crank bolt and roll it over and see if you have compression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OhioGuy89 4 #33 Posted April 1, 2015 Ok. That I can do. How will I be able to tell if I have compression? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #34 Posted April 1, 2015 As you roll it over you will feel resistance as you come up on compression stroke, then it will get easy again. If its easy all the way around you have problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
