ROTOR REMOVAL
PROCEDURE
1. To remove the rotor, double check
that the spark plug wire is discon-
nected. You will be turning the rotor
during this procedure, and this
could accidentally cause engine
kickback.
2. With an impact wrench, remove the
rotor thru-bolt. See Figure F.11. If
an impact wrench is not available,
use the 1/2” box wrench. Hold the
rotor with one hand and shock the
wrench with the mallet to loosen the
thru-bolt. The thru-bolt has a star
washer and lock washer, beveled to
conform to the rotor shaft. Pull out
the thru-bolt.
3. Install the long thru-bolt supplied
with Lincoln Electric Rotor Removal
Kit S20925. The slot head must
face out. Screw in the bolt with the
slot head screw driver until the bolt
bottoms out on the engine crank-
shaft, about 3/4”.
4. Turning it counterclockwise, screw
in the reverse thread bolt from the
kit into the rotor shaft until it bot-
toms out on the thru-bolt.
5. With an impact wrench, tighten the
reverse thread bolt until the rotor pops
off the engine crankshaft. If an impact
wrench is not available, use the 1/2”
box wrench. Hold the rotor with one
hand and shock the wrench with the
mallet until the rotor pops off the
engine crankshaft.
6. Slide the rotor and blower (press-fitted
to the rotor) the rest of the way off the
crankshaft.
REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Lubricate the tapered engine crank-
shaft. Slide the rotor onto the shaft.
2. Coat the rotor thru-bolt threads with
Lincoln E177-R retaining compound
(Locktite( 277). Place the beveled lock
washers onto the thru-bolt and insert it
into the rotor shaft. Hold the rotor and
tighten the thru-bolt to 22 - 25 ft lbs.
3. Carefully install the stator, with the
leads at the 1 o’ clock position.
IMPROPER HANDLING OF THE
STATOR CAN RESULT IN SHORTED
WINDINGS AND/OR LOST OUTPUT.
4. Install the end bracket. Slide it on and
install the two top thru-bolts loosely to
hold the end bracket for the next step.
5. Install the end bracket support.
