Crankshaft runout
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2019 4:55 pm
Howdy: restoring my first 40+. Noticed a 1mm wobble in the lower edge of the magneto. This prompted me to apply a run out gauge to the top of the crankshaft. Looks to be out by 20 thou.
Put a pipe on it and brought it back to about 5 thou. Still have a variation in magneto lower edge gap a
Which tells me it is out too. No play felt in crankshaft.
Wondering what is normal for these units? Would rather not suffer the expense of replacing it. Thanks in advance for any advice.
