    85593E 1975 85hp Should start wont start

    Okay, I got one, threaded it out to 7/16. If there was a spark it was pretty faint. That said the wheel is moving slower than when we jumped it directly to the starter so maybe the neighbor helper did see a spark, ugh kinda frustrating.

    Yeah, pretty sure he is a welder & claims to have something of an engineering skill-set. Kicker is he doesnt come around much to help & as I've said before Im pretty much just a guy with access to a wrench & youtube lol. I'm very much learning as I go on this hunk of metal.

    The little half-disk that makes it stays in place on the shaft? Maybe you mean something else but if that is what you mean, that was fine by the look of it when I pulled the flywheel to take a look at the stator/magneto assembly underneath. I imagine if that sheered it'd be spinning faster...

    Never heard of a crank woodruff key, sounds like I have some howework. I have a timing gun, an old blue thing, but always thought it was used for belt timing. Not sure it could work for a flywheel though, it was dad's & he is gone & that thing is older than me so pretty sure there is no...

    I know I have spark jump, that I've seen albeit without a spark tester, Im gonna have to look into one. I know video frames per sec may simply not be up to snuff, but watching videos on youtube I couldnt help but think their initial rotation of the flywheel seemed much faster. I'm wondering...

    Okay, I pulled this fossil out of some farmer's barn & have been attempting to ressurect it. Fresh wire & external parts, carbs are clean with new gaskets, compression is good, gaps on spark plugs were checked, boots have spark jump. Muffs were on, fuel line primed, power supply charged, on...
