[QUOTE="peebeeaitch, post: 63658, member: 8318"] jerry, no, I have not put a run out on the coupling. At this point I'm starting to think of just tossing the idea. I don't know where I read this, or even why I remember it, but somewhere I thought it said that the motor worked on a magneto with a secondary charging circuit of about 5 amps, which would barely drive a cigarette lighter. Re-reading the electrical stuff today I see it is 25 amps so that is many cigarette lighters! This should allow me to be able to fit some decent lights and the other goodies I want to add. At this point, it seems, I will not need to fit another alternator. Also, the piece of crankshaft extending from the rear of the motor does not extend past the housing - not that it would not be possible to fab something: [IMG]http://bobcat.thesouthpole.co.za/BloodSweatAndTears/2013-02-24_6.jpg[/IMG] From what I can remember from the unexploded state, the housing is also very close to the oil cooler, which would prevent an easy hack here even if I were to extend the shaft. Oh yes, and while I'm at it, the manual says one uses a “soft hammer“ to loosen the flywheel off the taper shaft. Well neither a soft hammer, or a normal hardness hammer, removes my flywheel. So, if I ever need to remove it, it is likely that an engine rebuild might be called for. Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll continue to mull over it. [/QUOTE]
