Bully clutch end play

[TreytonVlcek]

I know that briggs doesn't want any end play but bully was a little bit of float on the install. Which is the correct way and why does bully say there clutch could be damaged if installed without end play?

You want .015" - .030" end play, you can adjust end play with clutch spacers or 3/4" bore washers

So that you don't smash the clutch against the shoulder on the crank and get it stuck or break the race on the drive hub if you hammer it on with an impact.

As long as you run the radius washer, the Bully will be fine with no endplay. As Cole pointed out, guys tend to impact the retaining bolt in the end of the crank and when running a Bully inboard, can damage the inner race and drive hub.

If you run endplay, you will wear the keyway in the crank of the L206 -- seen it many times. For sure it doesn't fix itself and only gets worse over time with repeated use with endplay.

Absolutely correct. AS always.

Thanks for the input. By the radius washer you're talking about the one that comes with the stinger clutch correct?

You can purchase them separately, or even make one yourself. We stock them if you need.

WOW, could you talk to my wife please? I don't think she's as thoroughly convinced as you are.
Thanks, but I'm not always right -- it's encouraging to hear it once in a while from my peers though.

Good to know, I was just wondering since I have a stinger from last season. They opened up the clutch rule this year to allow disc clutches. Figured I'd give the bully a try.
