Hi all time to judge I had wee bend in my finish let myself down very good day seemed to have lost some pics on the day

The engine pulley was next on the list, i bought a taper lock one but this came with a few problems, The engine shaft was geared and it was also not long enough the slide the pulley out to line up with the transmission pulley. I turned a new belt groove first A small test for alignment. The above image shows the issue. the taperlock bush is an 1'' ID but the shaft was about 11/16" so I made a bush. The first bit turned to 1" Then I bored the inside out to fit tightly over the engine shaft. A couple of grub screws with tapered ends screwed to clamp the bush.

Had some time today to have a proper look at the crankshaft. Cut a flat surface where the thread had snapped and very carefully drilled into the crankshaft gradually increasing insize. Threaded the hole and inserted an m10 nut covered in thread lock. Cut the head of the bolt and put everything back together just to make sure I had cut the nut to the correct size. having come this far, gave it a little pull and to my surprise I had a spark. Put some fuel in and and found a small leak from the tap on the bottom of the tank, put an o ring in the tap and sorted the leak. Tried to start but it was not having it, a quick adjustment to the carb settings one more pull and it started and ran brilliantly. I just need to spend a bit more time now cleaning it up and working out what springs and little bits i might be missing from the governor setup and I will have it at the allotment next week chewing through anything that gets in the way. Wristpin thank you so much for all your help with trying to the find why I had no spark. If your ever York way for what ever reason give me a shout ill buy you a few beers I have cut the thread down some more since taking this picture.
