Well I think I just "did in" my FS-90. I was going to put in new bearings (finally after buying them last year). Tore it down and was haveing a tuff time with the screw that goes into the timing plate drive disk (see pic). I let it sit in penetrating oil for days. Got my T handle allen wrench and a screw driver ready and gently increased force. Then POP. The screw head broke off with the screw left in the cam. Anyone know of a parts stash out there?

Will be combing ebay and RCU for donor motors.

It is a shame as the engine was in really good shape for as old as it was. Just needed bearings and this heavy handed buffoon went and broke it.

Eric,

I would contact Clarence Lee, he does all sorts of repares on engines. His add is in the back of AMA, no web page, you have to write or call. If any one can fix it he can.

Cheers,

Chip
