Gee, I don't really know? Is there a any radius between the shaft and the counterweight?So what's your guess on the position?
Me neither, we would be guessing using gut instinct. The beveled is towards youGee, I don't really know? Is there a any radius between the shaft and the counterweight?
See! You just come on here to talk to us. You don't need our help lol!Lol, if I could we all would have one. It's been a long time since someone built one out loud.
And when someone else buys one they can see me stumble and back up and go forward. It's all good.
I put the cases close together and I think the studs go all the way now.
It was that new old stock 18 inch Sabre hard nose bar that I bought from ebay.Was that a cannon, they have the holes drilled so it can be flexible. A Stihl will not work, I have not seen anything larger than a 20 in FarmerTec, yet. Will order more soon.
I started on the build. Did we resolve the crank washer question yet? My governor flag holes did line up with the shaft just fine.So I took step one to get my crank installed. These are quite a bit different, meaning less stressful to install.
I have run up on my first question. Since no one has experience what would be your best guess and why?
I am thinking the beveled edge would go to the case and the flat side to the crank. Feels like it's made of leather

I think the bevel goes inward towards the crank lobes. The reason I say this that there is a small chamfer where the shaft connects to the lobes. I also have some rust on the crankshaft right where the oil seal sits. I'll have to smooth that up some.What was your input on it? I could not find anything on it, nothing detailed. The photos I provided show the crank side as flat and the bearing side as not. So I guessed the beveled would go towards the uneven but flat bearing side. That's great your flap lined up, mine was off about 2 mm for some reason. It's perfect now.
