Yeah i think im getting there.

Yeah i was worried about where the seal runs too.
Expensive little sucker this thing

Big box for something so little. lol.
Theres measurements in the instructions. I will linish the end of the shaft up a bit and put the speedi sleeve on it. Probably cut the front lip off the seal as the seal and sleeve are pretty much the same size. The front lip on the seal does not even touch the speedi sleeve anyway, its like its over size.

The two side seals i got are like old as the hills. Same sizes but different brands/styles. Imperial sized seals.


Ive got some Oil here. SAE 80-90W, says GL5 too. Would that do the tick??
Ive also got SAE 90-140. No mention of the EP/Sulphur.
Its old shell oil. I bought it up for $5 a 4L container from a servo years back. Got 4 of each. Still on the 1st container of each. lol.


After the speedi sleeve is on and before the seal goes in i was going to add some oil up in the gap between the two.
Same with the side seals.
Just want to be sure that they are not dry especially that input seal as i can not see much oil working up through the bushing to lubricate it.



Got the motor fired up tonight. Damn thing smoked the shed out, good thing it was knock off time. Id say it was a gut full of oil, had the flywheel off to fiddle with the points and i layed the motor over.


had another wee bit of drama with it.

At the thin bit it was bent round 90deg. And it was twisted as well.
I had a hunt around and a 5HP quantum govenor shaft was thicker, had a few spare ones of them but couldnt use them, thought about it but the butterfly flap on the carb hasnt got much meat on it to drill out and the hole in the vane is stamped and lipped through the tin so it would have been weakened somewhat.
Found a horizontal 5HP (internally governed) motor up the back shed, its all in bits so i pinched the rod off it. Bent the end, rolled it round a screwdriver shaft to make the loop. Bent the other end and made my own. Should have taken pictures of it before i fitted it to the motor.
Good thing i had another 3Hp here to go off to get the angles right or i would have been flying blind.
Straightened up the vane. Then had to tweak the cover out a bit as theres not much room where it runs through and its right at the loop in the shaft where it comes out.

Tank had a bit of condensed brown stuff in it. Added some fresh fuel and sucked it all out.
Bit of fuel down the carb, which promptly leaked back out the choke slide, oh well the tank is clean now, lol. Three or four lots of fuel and it caught on all by itself.
Almighty squeal from the starter sprag so i shut it down. Pulled that apart and cleaned it up, 1 drop of oil and back together it went.
Then fired it up and it smoked like a chimney, rattled all the stuff on the bench floor-ward.

I was thinking something was missing from the linkage govenor setup, the throttle bar, came in to look on the computer then realised that the machine has a cable throttle on it. doh!


All good. Hopefully get it back together tomorrow.

Its got to go with me on Friday. Wont take long to get it sorted.

Just need to get some gasket paper tomorrow. I dummy assembled the gearbox tongight and it needs the paper as there is stuff all clearance.
The input shaft bush is not as tight as i would like but its not too bad. Dry its got a bit of movement, i loaded it up with engine oil and theres about .5mm

I doubt it will see that much work. And theres a spare one there. I will check out the gearbox on it.
This one is a 3HP and im thinking that the other one is a 2Hp.
It has the tank on the opposite side to the carb if i remember right. I must have bought the engine code back as i have the 2HP parts list on my PC here. Same with the 5Hp Onga and something else the old fella had at home.
Might go with this motor and the best gearbox. Motor on the other one turns over but the head bolts and the bracket for the handle on top of the head is rusted badly. Looks like its been in the weather. Tines move when you pull the cord Dad said.

Cant wait to get the motor on one with tines on it to see what it can do. See if the govenor kicks in. Im thinking i might be sadly dissapointed.

Bob.
