How tight should the nut on the flywheel shaft be? If I loosen it enough for the flywheel (engine) to turn over, the nut is fairly loose. If I tighten it to where I think it should be, the flywheel (engine) won't budge.
i'm not a club car dude but something doesn't sound right there, you could rattle that nut on with a impact and break the flywheel before the engine would bind up. are you sure the flywheel is not cracked
Gonna pull it back off this am. Something is not right. I doubt if I have put 40-50 lbs on it and it is wedged. I cannot turn the flywheel by hand like before I took it off.
I figured it out. I put the new exciter coil small outside pickup (white wire) on backwards, thus jamming the flywheel against it when I tightened the nut. Dumb me for not paying closer attention to how the old one came off. Thanks for all of your responses.
Well....had it running and the micro-switch under the accelerator broke...came apart and landed on the driveway. Ordered a new one a minute ago. ITS ALWAYS somethin'!!!!!!
