Ace kickshaft bearing retainer....

Or when it sounds like a Wood Chipper and then the parts blow out the bottom of the Engine! Joe.

If you had a broken part in the motor, wouldn't have been prudent to do a complete tear down and inspection of all parts? That way you would have found the pieces that caused the issue.

Ouch Joe. I'm not looking forward to that experience. I will say there's nothing quite like the sound of a WOT 4-corner seizure on a Road Toad that wasn't oiling because of a stuck banjo bolt. SCRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAACCH...crickets. Thrown, that is a good object lesson for us all.

Victor we all can learn from your experience, this is what is great about this site, we all can learn from each other. Thanks again Bruce Young

Thrown. I did check all of it, just failed to remove the main shaft and spun it to check it. Just not far enough. So that was my biggie. I should have put more time into it inspecting. I could have saved some time. AND DON’T SAY IT ED..... Victor

[matt glascock]

Paradoxical speed reference coming Victor. Brace yourself.

[Bullfrog]

Don't say what?????

I’m not going to say it....I’m not going to say it....I’m not going to say it....... Victor

[Bullfrog]

Ah . . . but you are thinking it!

My work here is done. (for now)

Ed

[matt glascock]

Ooh - clever Captain.

[viclioce]

Yes, I’m thinking it. Believe it or not, I even said it to Alan! Victor

[Bullfrog]

and . . . (dang, where is the thumbs up emoji?)
Ed

[viclioce]

There isn’t a thumbs up emoji available to us in the forum format. If there was we could use it. I entered one here from my iPhone graphics, but I don’t think the forum software accepts it. It lists it as an unsupported character. Victor

[matt glascock]

Unsupported character...hmm...I think that's what my teachers called me back in high school.

[viclioce]

I put in 3 unsupported characters. A thumbs up, a crying, laffing face & hands clapping. Rhe forum software won’t even allow you to proceed until you remove them! Victor
