west bend starter nut

[Mark Sousa]

Mark,

What Randy indicates may not be at all obvious to you.

The hex nut goes onto the crank.  LocTite and torque.

Then you insert the screw into the end of the long hex nut.  Also with blue LocTite.

The socket head screw must then be tightened so the end of the screw bottoms out against the end of the crank.

It SHOULD NOT bottom out because the shoulder of the screw is hitting the hex nut.

Comprende?

Yes Jim I do understand...thank you again

Glad to help, Mark. Some of this stuff is quite esoteric, and while our explanations are quite obvious in their meaning to us, they may not be obvious to a newbie or a bystander.

Ciao!
