[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 282947, member: 7791"] Not familiar with B&S motors but the prop nut does not have to be cranked down very tight usually. The prop sleeves over a spline shaft that keeps the prop from slipping. The nut merely keeps it from coming off the spline. I would not advise over tightening the prop nut. Usually I seat the nut and then a quarter turn or so just to get the cotter pin through the castle nut. Sounds like either your engine is coming out of gear (which would make a clunking sound typically) or your prop hub may be spun [/QUOTE]
