Hi thanks for that it does have a pull start so will check the condition of motor using that. I was trying to restore it as original as possible but I believe the motor might have been changed at some stage as it is. Was thinking bout doing a key way 180 degrees I just don't have the access to a drill press or lathe at this stage till I return back to work from the holidays. but was thinking bout possibly sleeving it as a temp fix. All 4 tyres are perished at the moment so just need a temp fix to make sure the drive train works correctly at first then can correct the fiddle bits properly at a later stage
