I’m kinda curious. If that part failed. Would it not still have enough compression to start. And maybe run, but with out the power it should have. ????You lost me here Daniel. Haven't run across ACR before.
You don't know what I'm gonna say, Noel---LOL! I have been considering that, just using JB weld or Loctite and throwing it all back together. Guess I really don't have anything to lose. Just as well cobble it back together, I suppose.Ya, I’d get a key for it and put it back together. And I’d put some Goop on all the surfaces. And on the treads of the bolt, and a little around the bolt head once torqued right. Does the same job as a nylock nut. I know what your all gunna say, but that’s what I’d do.
Thanks for the thought, Ted!DAC, If I had a spare 14 hp crankshaft I would send it to you. I have more 10 and 12 hp K series parts sitting around than 14 hp at this time.

Yes, gotta find out that before worries about the crank. But that Loctite 660 will work! If engine can be revived, after tightening flywheel following the 660, put a pipe that will clear the nut and give it a whack with good size hammer. You'll find after that the nut will tighten further. Do this till nut stops tightening easier. I just hope this engine can be saved!Did I miss something about why the loss of compression occurred?
Generally you will get about 60 PSI on a good engine with ACR, I'm with Chris try the loctite 660, I'll say the reason for no compression was because when cranking only the flywheel was turning and not the crankshaftSince the engine has ACR, don’t you have to somehow bypass that to do a compression test? Just putting a tester on and cranking it would show no or low compression, wouldn’t it?
I'm a little slow as that never occurred to my brainfarting mind!I'll say the reason for no compression was because when canking only the flywheel was turning and not the crankshaft
I don't think it occurred to many of us!I'm a little slow as that never occurred to my brainfarting mind!
