Engine drive plate hub mount position
Dose anyone know if the hub slot wears more slowly if mounted in a specific position with respect to TDC? There are 2 mounting position options and the thought crossed my mind.
I looked at the 149 manual and it doesn't specify either. In the years past I never really considered this, but it dose wear faster than I would like. Mike |
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. What hub? The one on the rear? I can't think of anything that can be bolted on two ways..... How about some more info. And maybe some pics. You mentioned a 149, so a K321 right?

I'm not saying that it isn't possible, but in all these years, I have never heard of anyone mounting the adapter a certain way to make it wear slower.
It would be nice if it were true though. |

Dang Mike, I guess I'm not the only one that thinks like that ! Good question.
|
The hub is a circle guys. It doesn't matter. It would wear the same no matter what. It's like a flywheel and clutch. You can bolt it on 6 different ways, but the wear pattern would never change.

Best I can tell your right about that but it doesn't keep me from over thinking the simplest things. Maybe I should see someone about that? LOL

However, I believe that the alignment of the engine in relation to the drive shaft along with maintaining a smooth running engine, is probably about the best friend you are going to find concerning the wear issue on the adapter, drive shaft and pin. All in all, getting 40 or 50 years of service out of one of these little machines is still pretty impressive. |

It very well may not make a difference but I think dismissing the theory would be ignorant. Mike |
