[QUOTE="XSleeper, post: 114650, member: 10730"] Hey, I wanted to post back... I finally had time to pull the engine today and it ended up being something simple. The key had wiggled its way out of the driveshaft jaw coupling! So this should have dawned on me when I took it apart the first time: The keyway was loose when I took it apart the first time (when I pulled the old Onan engine to put in the new Honda engine.) But what I didn't think of doing was to replace those Allen set screws. The loose keyway rattling around had flattened the tips of the set screws out so that they weren't putting good pressure on the key and shaft. And I also should have run a tap in and out of the coupler jaw to make sure those threads were clean so that it would be very easy to tighten the set screws. PLUS, I had replaced the rubber Lovejoy L225 spider with a new one that has a hollow center. (The original one had a solid center, which is what prevented the key from completely falling out the last time.) It also explains why the loose key left a dent in the old spider. So mystery solved/disaster averted. Thanks for your help. I think before next winter I will be getting a magnetic heater to slap onto the back door to help keep the hydraulic fluid warm in the winter. [/QUOTE]
