I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a 900 Intek series 205cc (122012 0 140 B8) motor that I believe has broken the crank inside the case. It did not have a catastrophic failure; it was running fine. I shut it off and went to start it, and there was a clunking noise when I pulled to start it. I have not pulled it apart yet, but the output can be held in place when pulling on the cord, and the shaft has visible up-and-down play.
My options;
If it is not damaged inside I could replace the crank, it has about one inch of 7/8 diameter and then tapers up to 1 inch (pic attached). The tapered ones I have found online have threads where it is 7/8, does anyone know what the part number for my crank is?
Agrifab has a replacement motor for about $500 shipped but do not want to spend that much on something that gets 10 hours of use per year. I have had no luck finding a used one online or another brand that will work (assuming others have this output design).
I have an unused Honda clone with a 1-inch straight shaft, Agrifab said all their impellers are tapered, I found several other brands that are keyed, but also cost several hundred dollars. If I can find a capable shop I have considered having my impeller machined out and fitted with a key slot.
I have seen Predator motors on Agrifab vacs but do not know how they did it, I do not believe any of these motors have a tapered shaft (is there an adapter?)
Looking for recommendations as my knowledge of small engines is minimal, thanks for looking.
