[QUOTE="cosborn, post: 469701, member: 25154"] The metal on these old motors can get quite brittle. That’s why there’s a liberal amount of duct tape on my tiller here :( [ATTACH type="full" alt="E5B3552F-2145-4F52-842F-8A04522D5B8D.jpeg"]103239._xfImport[/ATTACH] The left half of the arm there broke completely in half when I was working on the motor. Still not sure exactly how I did it... must have put too much force on it when it was in the upright position, but didn’t take much. Either tried starting the motor holding onto it upright, or I leaned over the motor to reach something and put some weight on it. Noticed it much later after it had happened, with no defining moment I could think back to. [/QUOTE]
