Starter Clutch question.......

[brcree]

Guy....Guys..........just figured out how to get the starter gear back on the starter shaft! There is a small hole at the end of the splined starter shaft....I made a dowel pin just big enough to wedge in with a small ball peen hammer. I then pulled it back and pressed it downward enough to hold it in place. I then used the small hammer and lightly tapped the gear further back on the shaft.....BINGO......groove is visible and I got the C Clip on now! In regards to Rs post about the 2 gears going on at the same time......I can't see how you could get the chain back on with out putting it on both gears and installing them at the same time.

I don't disagree in principal. I'm just saying that I often replace 45 year old parts even if they look ok, especially if they are inexpensive. I also understand there are different schools of thought on this and I was merely offering my suggestion.

Put the chain on the crank sprocket.
Angle the starter motor out and install the chain on that sprocket then put the motor on the engine and install the screws. ......lm

Yes, while at the same time suggesting that I, for some reason, pay for the feller's parts.

I'll send this only once.
<<<<<Your two cents won't pay for the parts you recommend.
Although they don't cost a lot why waste money when they are good to use?
Or maybe you will pay for them so the feller can have new ones. ........lm>>>

I sure did.
So will ya?. .....lm
