1. this guys claims he can take out the key and weld a new ceramic key in the slot and that will take all the power I can give it. So he claims. I never heard of a ceramic key, but then I'm kind a noobie.
2. Two speed shops in town have suggesting taking the crank them repair the key then cut another key slot 180 degree.
I beleive #2 is what BDS is trying to say. Although I don't under stand the whole 10/10 thing. What is that?
curious why is it that all of Denny W's posts are deleted, is something getting "moderated here".
Thanks Guys!
The "10/10" thing is part of BDS's recommendations for the crank when running a blower. They are saying don't cut the mains or rods more than 0.010". Sorry if that was confusing, it was part of the paragraph about the 2 keyways, so I just copied the whole paragraph.
