    Main gear to clutch gear alignment

    I noticed this when disassembling the motor, now that I'm putting it back together it's doing the same thing. I've put everything back exactly like the diagram.

    Is the primary gear on backwards?? Looks like it has a hub facing forwards, can it flip around??

    You can't be missing a shim because your crank is outta threads....

    The gear is on correctly, as you can see on the schematic the primary gear has a stepped side that sits against the spacer / seal runner. As for the spacer/seal runner that also has a stepped area. I tried it both ways with the same result. I can tell its been running like this for awhile by the mesh marks in the clutch basket gear.

    Yep, that is fairly standard on a lot of different motors. I wouldn't worry about it, but it does seem like they should be perfectly aligned, doesn't it?

    Just put my brothers triz together and it was the same way. I questioned it to but it lined up with the wear marks in the basket gear like it was before
