sounds as if I'm up for a new clutch body half as the cotter pin is missing and by the sounds of it its not worth replacing the pin if its not really a good design. If and when I purchase a new clutch half, what sort of gap if any, should there be between the engine and the clutch body? Also interested in looking into a new engine for the mower. What should I look out for with places selling engines that they say are compatable to scott bonnar mowers. I believe the crankshaft should be 3/4 to fit the clutch body. Is that correct?
