Walmart?

Could you post a pic of the number?

Grenade

Yes, just make sure to get them balanced.

I’d say $1500 to $2000 is in the range.

I’ll go all out, bite the bullet and get a new one. ( I own my own dremel tool)

Yeah, a nice bonus.

I gotta a guy who does my welding. I’m ok on arc welding, but don’t have the equipment for aluminum.

The seals getting hard I’m used to, but this one was actually brittle, those two conditions don’t provide a good seal and can cost you a motor if you don’t take the time to change them after a long period of non use.

That snapped like it was made out of Bakelite

Some welded parts

Most brittle one I’ve come across yet.

When you buy overhaul bundles from HPI, they include a parts diagram in page protectors

Clarence, all that in a 3 ring binder?

Go to Walmart and buy a binder and box of page protectors, it is the way to go.

If you use my option you can take out any single pages you might need and they stay nice and clean. Then just return them to the correct place.

Take it to staples and see if they can match you up with something. Or get page protectors, separate the manual and use the protectors in a standard binder. I have a full set of BSA parts books set up like that. Protects the pages and keeps them clean.

IDx ODx width, brand has less to do with it.

I think he’s looking at outside distance so it can be pressed and not be too wide or too narrow. My guy usually measures that distance before he disassembles the crank.

That condenser doesn’t look healthy .

Take a small punch, smaller across then the key, and tap the key out. Work from the outer end, it should roll right up out of the slot. No need to gut the motor again.

You should check that the shafts turn at several steps of assembly. Before the cases go together, after they are together, any time you put something on a shaft make sure it still spins free. You put the clutch on, spin it, you put the flywheel on, spin it. That way at least you know what may be wro...

Does it spin freely with the plug out?
