What the f#ck!!!!!

[Flyingw]

So I'm refreshing a motor to put in my mockup. The motor I'm refreshing needs an outer clutch as the one in there is cracked so I pull the cover on the motor in my mockup to pull the clutch and find this. WHO DOES THIS CRAP!!!! Welded the centrifugal clutch to the end of the crank!!!!! I"M SO PISSED. Now I have the split the tranny so I can get the clutch off. I'll cannabilize a few parts from this turd motor and toss the rest in to the trash. F@cking IDIOTS!!!!!!!

Hmmm...
Judging from the quality of the weld, he apparently ran out of plate to practice on.

That right there is a shoe in for those "I fixed it!" emails that go around once in a while.

[kebby28]

Hehehe, thats one of a kind there.
Just curious, isn't this just to test carbs on?

[Gearheadtom]

Welding shifters and stuff on is one thing... this is far beyond that...

[Keith Salyer]

That is pitiful

5 year old to dad: "Daddy, I want to learn how to weld!"
Dad: "Stick welding is easy, lets start with that"
Kid: "What can I practice on?"
Dad: "Howabout this here ATC motor? These things are banned, nobody wants them anymore and that danged clutch was always a problem"
Kid: "COOL LETS DO IT"
* One hour later *
Dad: "I've seen better, but you'll get better!"
Kid: "YAYAYYYYYY"

Yes it is Kebby but the motor needs to run normally. All I needed was the friggin clutch. 2 hours later I finally got it.

Quality fix right there!

Did you run all the way to your key board swearing like a sailor after his first bad tattoo and case of crabs? I fully understand your frustration with the issues at hand. Remember what a good deal you got when you bought it? Ring a bell we have a winner. I never want to see a post like this from you in this kind of language. Clean up your act and remember this is a sight for all eyes to see, so make it read for all ages to enjoy. Do you think it's the first time this kinda work has been passed on? It just so landed in your garage...which from your temper I'm guessing the walls look like Swiss cheese from all the wrench throwing going on. Please do us all a favor...change your tune, or go to Bi-polar, Emotional wrenches.com to locate some more like minded folks as yourself.

If it took you 2hrs to split the engine down...your smart enough to write like it did. TrailPro!

[Flyingw]

Point taken Tri-Z and yes I did. Normally I don't get excited like that but this one really pissed me off.

[Flyingw]

Thanks for editing my post. You beat me to it. Pressing on now!!!

[Yamaha3wheeler]

You get what you pay for. What you got?

[jb2wheels]

Wow - I would never have guessed someone would do that. That would set me off on a fit, too. Things get broken when I have a good fit...

[honda4h]

that's a common redneck bolt. used buy many rednecks.

[Dirtcrasher]

Must be LH threads.......

Morons.

[leevarnado]

i kinda ran into the same thing a few months ago.guy stripped out the threads then drilled a hole in the shaft,used a washer and nail to hold the clutch on.

[atc500x]

Yes LH thread....tried on the wrong side,striped the thread in the nut and don't have any to replace....so they weld it.....

[Flyingw]

Ya, that was my assumption as well.

[Outlaw #24]

Nice piece !

Heck, your guy could have used the cone washer and a rollpin :lol:

[shortline10]

I feel for ya Jim . I run into the back wood repairs all the time , my latest head shaker was the normal broken off foot peg bolt with a twist . They drilled a hole and jammed a large concrete cut nail in the hole :lol: .

someone I think most of us vets have seen thing kind of stuff before quite a bit. it sucks and costs you 5Xs what you paid for the item originally but in the end some of it is useable. my initial thoughts are to remove everything around the area all those usable parts then go in with a grinder or cutter and cut it. the crank is trash and so is that housing, so that needs replacing, but if done right you may be able to salvage everything else including the case half.

if you already got it, then sorry for adding.

It is truly amazing what some people will do. I've seen plenty myself. Some of these things are very easily fixed "correctly" with just a slight amount of ambition. I swear, some people put things together with "stupidity" when the right "hardware" is right next to their left knee! After it's done, they look at the right "hardware" and say "what are these for?" and throw that remaining "hardware" away. I'd like to say I'm at a loss for words in those situations, but the truth is, I have a lot of words that I can't put here....you know what I mean....

[sweetip2000]

I wonder if the person who did that actually thought they were creative and thrifty ?
Damn.
