striped crankshaft bolt

[mtpcage]

After completing the build today. I end up striping the end of the crankshaft. I will try and see the best way to fix it. I know the nut can only get about two turn.s.

Which end did you strip? If it is a nut you are at the flywheel end. If it is a bolt you are at the PTO end ans a Heli Coil or equivalent will be perfect here.

title is off. a tap goes in a hole . a die goes on a bolt. you need a new crankshaft.

I was guessing it was the flywheel end. Its a common problem when removing the flywheel with out a puller and not having a nut screwed on the threads when u hit it with the HAMMER!!

The old 10hp Tecumseh Star engines were real bad about stripping or breaking off the treads. We would drill and tap them, inserting a piece of grade 8 all thread. Problem solved.

Sorry its the flywheel end of the crankshaft that striped.

You should be able too 'chase' the thread with a 'good' M14-1.5 Die....(as I recall)
