Hi Gang,
I received a new trainer from TH with the 46 ABS engine.
First thing I noticed was crankshaft end play appx 18-20 thous. of an inch but the split cone takes it away.
I mounted the prop and tightened it GOOD.
I tried turning the engine by hand and it seemed locked.
I added some oil and it loosened up but at the compresson stroke it gets tight and squeeks as if you cross threaded a nut on a bolt and was forceing it.
Do I have a bad engine?
Also because of the split cone how do I mount the spinner?
