West Bend 700. Has anyone installed a belt starter cup without drilling/tapping the flywheel to add a screw head to keep the cup from slipping? I'm used to Mac and Bonbright West Bend flywheels that both have screw heads engaging the pockets in the back face of the starter cup. If the nut is properly torqued to 27.5 Ft./Lbs., will it slip? Thanks. Ted

Ted - on my 580 5 port I've had no problems with the starter cup slipping using only the flywheel nut for attachment.
Take care, Paul

A nice serrated flange head nut does a great job holding in place.
