Nope, that was one option that I considered because all of the Honda
and Clone engines that we're using on the Cyclekarts are keyed as are
most utility small engines.
The other option that I thought might be that the shaft was threaded with a right hand
thread and the impeller was threaded onto that. And.....that's exactly what it was.
I used a strap wrench on the impeller and blocked up the flywheel and it spun right off.
The engine turns over but is very stiff, think it might be the rod. I'm draining it while I
take a break to mow the lawn, you know how much lawn I've got to mow right? Dang
stuff is growin' so fast even cutting it every 4 days I've got enough to rake and bale
each time.
Movin' on to the next challenge.
