I had a belt pop off and wrap around the clutch. After removing it and replacing the belt, it no longer works. It does turn, but barely and makes some sort of rattling noise. Any idea what is happening?
I am having some issues trying to remove the clutch. I don’t have an impact driver, trying to use ratchet by the motor is turning. Any ideas how to stop it from turning? Is holding the shaft with a pipe wrench a bad idea?
Swung by the depot and picked up an impact driver. Removed old clutch...ohms were at 7.7. Put the new one on, all systems go. He old craftsman lives on.
Just FWIW: If you fill the combustion chamber with the rope, of course leaving a good length hanging out to later remove it, the engine will turn & compress it & turn no further. That's how that works..
And fine to use on OHV & Flattys.

For tools you only need once every 1 million years, your local parts house usually rents or even loans them. There's upfront costs, just incase you don't bring it back. But they refund the money when you return it.
