Sounds like my prop shaft is different.

From the seal: I have 1/2" of taper then about 5/8" of threads. The shaft is 5/16 at the threads. When the flywheel is on, there is not enough room for a prop (even without the flywheel actually). The whole thing from seal to tip is about 1 1/8 or 1 3/16 or so. It sounds like I need some bar stock tapped for the 5/16 threads on one side and tapped for a prop bolt on the other. (or just tapped all the way through at 5/16)


Is that common? Or do I have an oddball or difficult child?
