Hey everyone. Very serious question here.
Ok, the slot screw that goes into the small drive sprocket on the inside right of the engine has stripped, and I don't have the means of fixing it. Here's what I'm GOING to do, I just want info about that screw, sprocket, and such. I'm going to fill the part where the slot screw goes in with JB Weld, and hammer the slot screw in there as best as I can. I'm told the gear is on there really tight to begin with, but I just want to take the precaution anyways. I'm also going to punch the lip of the slot screw entrance, to smear the metals together, as an extra precaution to help keep the gear on there.
Here's my question...
Can the engine be run without that slot screw?
Will the sprocket hold up without the screw, (anyone try it?)
