I have checked with a few people on replacement options and that is how I found out about the tapered shaft. As I understand it the back side of the motor has a shaft that is tapered instead of round with a key. The tapered shaft is what is inside of the u-joint hook up that you are talking about. When you separate the motor from the u-joint you should see the tapered shaft. When you replace the motor you either need to find one with a tapered shaft that matches the u-joint and you will have to reconstruct the u-joint so it will attach to the new motor. Or find something that you can swap with the existing u-joint. I was planning on reconstructing the u-joint, but I haven't taken mine apart and I don't have any manuals showing the parts. Is yours still running? Have you found a replacement motor yet or started to take it apart. Mine is still running it is hard to start and sometimes I have to run it with the choke on to keep it going. I had a mechanic look at it last fall and got it running but I hate to keep putting money into a 31 year old motor and I wouldn't mind getting one with a little more power. The motor is still in so I don't have any pictures to share. I wanted to figure out what to do with the shaft before I take it out of commission and spend the $ on a motor. Does this help? Where are you located? I have a lead on a possible motor here in town and they offer machine services so I am going to see if they could modify the shaft. They are out of town this week so if I find out more I will let you know.</p></blockquote><p></p>
