Have you ever seen this?

45 lb/ft of torque is what fly wheel nut calls for.

This thread has a lot going on. Im going to recap here
1. I am still unsure why original post happened. The vibrating shift handle. I replaced the head cylinder assembly and head gasket because the spark bottom spark plug hole wouldn’t hold a spark plug. The vibrating started after.
2. Mixed gas in my barrel is my fault. After posting and seeing the reponses I realized I overfilled my new gas can. Gas has to go somewhere.
3. Woodruff key broke due to flywheel nut not being properly torqued down (I assume). New woodruff key on the way.

What have you done to the tapered piece on the flywheel that's matching the tapered piece on the crankshaft?

Did you lube it, or did you clean it, or did you lap it with some lapping compound?

I’ve done nothing to it at this point. Waiting on my woodruff keys to come in. I’ll use that lapping compound like you suggested.

Places the lapping compound and torqued the flywheel to the proper 45 lb/fr spec. She fired right up and ran well in my barrel. I moved it up higher with a board: that weird shift handle thing seems to have gone away.

Now to set the timing. She’s idling a little higher than I’d like

Matt for you!!

Nice job

 

[saltchuckmatt]

Sounds great.....needs to be put on a boat and run the crap out of it. Hallelujah brother!

 

[jitterbug127]

Here she is in a barrel today. I tried to rev up the throttle. It’s not getting very many rpm: I’m thinking motors is out of time

Seems to run fine/better in Neutral. Still sounds like a Clutch Dog Issue in gear

 

[jitterbug127]

I have a spare long leg here I’ll swap them out to see if any improvement.

 

[jitterbug127]

It will spit, sputter and randomly die in neutral even. Like runs great and intermittently runs like crap.

How old are the Coils and Condensers under the Flywheel?

Barn find so I’m not sure. They are the black omc ones that are all sold now. I’m gonna assume fairly new: magneto looks great under flywheel

 

[saltchuckmatt]

New plugs, put it on the lake with someone else at the helm while you adjust everything under a load.

 

[saltchuckmatt]

Put a box fan next to it.....it's sucking fumes.

 

[jitterbug127]

I’m sure the box fan will be super helpful lol

Top cylinder timing light

Bottom cylinder timing light


Never used a timing light before. I had to do this abiur 50
Times to shoot video properly motor will
Fire right up and die in 20 seconds just like both videos

 

[jitterbug127]

Also I feel way too high tech posting videos on YouTube.

I’m still leaning towards intermittent spark and that’s what I would be looking for to either rule out or confirm but that’s just me.
Running in gear in a barrel will not give you any useful results as your going to get cavitation.
The carb sucking in exhaust gases doesn’t help either which is where the box fan comes in
