Interesting. Have worked on my fair share of motors and have never seen that on a small motor. Did the prop slide off cleanly?

Nice! You could test Glow Plugs with that. (~0.7 to 1.4 Ohms). Not many meters will go low enough to actually test GPs other than open circuit or maybe ok, or shorted.
Why does it always seem that when you want to use a gas powered tool it won't start. One of my brothers wanted to borrow my Husqvarna pole saw to take down a limb. I pull it out to make sure it runs. The damb thing would not start. I found it had no spark. The kill switch works fine. I pulled the coil out to find this. SOB ran great 6 months ago.

The rain here last night wasn’t enough to soften the dead leaves… they are damp but still crunch when you walk on them. Any better down by you?
I don't think we got much more then a 1/4 inch of rain around here yesterday.

It was pretty wet at my house
One of my employees told me they barely got any rain in Northern Jersey where he lives
Mark? How about you over in Ulster?
Per the weather channel app we got .05" in the past 24 hours. A quarter inch would have been a deluge in comparison.
Barely had 2/10ths over here Sean. Guessers say maybe more on Thursday.
I sure hope we get more, hardly knocked the dust down.Barely had 2/10ths over here Sean. Guessers say maybe more on Thursday.
Yeah. The prop came off no problem.
The thrust washer behind it was a bear to get off, though. Sprayed some PB Blaster penetrating oil on the splines and pried off using two screwdrivers on the back side of the thrust washer. A little tap tap & back/forth on the levers & it POP!-ed off. Fortunately, all of the prying didn't gall the aluminum gear/exhaust housing.
Got the lower unit disassembled in about 15min no problemmo after that.
New prop shaft is already on the way.
If this were an airplane or some other mission-critical application, I'd be doing a complete teardown to make sure the crank isn't bent. There must have been an AWFUL lot of force transmitted into those gears to twist the shaft like that.
But the gearbox looks pristine so..
Not that it's a good permanent solution but can you wrap that erosion in friction tape & run it that way until you can get a new coil wire?
Didn’t do diddly squat. It’s all dry out there again . Good news is the Denning fire is 90% contained
I am guessing they must've wailed something rock or iron at full speed and replaced the prop before it got to your workbench.Yeah. The prop came off no problem.

Going to cover that SWEET Yamaha up and then the bass boat will be for hibernation
Uncle Mike, I got my dad out on it a few times this year, still need to get you out there

This is other train I have seen with a caboose (I have older videos not posted on YouTube yet), a CP welded rail train.
Someone asked about my stone walls and if I have rocks in the dirt . I can’t dig without hitting rock . Was just trying to level an area I hit with the trailer doing firewood
Third load of rock going to use it to extend the rock wall around my fire pit

Luckily, it rained pretty good here last night. Was way too dry for over a month!
