That’s a good one actually.
That’s why I decided to stuff a Solo crank in the old Dolmar.
I consider it a win.

Why did taper not match?

It was Ever-So-Slightly: nothing that would be noticed without testing for it.

The crank was from 1 saw & flywheel from another.

Tapered Cranks & flywheels are getting lapped from now on.

So this isn’t the current crank?

Good Deal.

I would have guessed your right arm to be exceptionally efficient and strong at that jerking motion required to start a high compression engine.

All appears to be 1128.

And..... should have used red armor.

4 months later when it was torn down, all the internals were still pretty & red: I’m a believer.

Right you are.

I am proficient: I’m certain your copper soldering & pvc gluing skills are next level also.

Will this buff out? View attachment 157766

Just leave in the block and grind it out

Ms310 seal replacemet. Reinstalling the flywheel. Nut not even under pressure when the end of shaft, with nut, twisted off. Havent figured out why yet. Coulda been ham fisted former mechanic i guess but imagine how tight it would have to have been to put crack in crank. Coulda been mfrg defect too; seems more likely. Used crank for the win

So......you want a cookie or what?

This was going to be a spare for my 262. Saw didn’t have a P&C on it when I got it. I think the wrist pin said hello to the transfer port and bent the rod.

I know a folk wo drilled a thread into the crank and used a screw with a washer to tighten the Flywheel.

Thought about doing that but cost for replacement crank made me decide to replace it. Thanks for input

Exactly. Do it right the first time. Thrifty is not always the best "fork in the road" to take. A Good used crankshaft shouldn't break the bank. If you can't find one, I'm sure I've got one somewhere

If the flywheel breaks off/shatters at 13,000rpm or so, I would imagine it to be catastrophic and dangerous. Lol

It Sucks even when it isn’t exciting.

Well now let me tell you that dumb trick of winding a saw up with a drill motor on the nut will encourage the flywheel to orbit a garage several times and Lord only knows how much damage it can in it's trip .Incoming ------
