NTC3 help.

[Smurfola212]

Okay, Theres a deal pending with mcvickj about his ntc3, and my gs storm. It most likely will go thru, my dad gives it thumbs up my mom is asleep. So, Its gonna behttp://jrmcvicker.com/NTC3/ae_ntc3.htm except for the sirio. I dont trust used engines anymore due to my little happening with retread. So, I was lookin and pokin around and IF the deal goes through, I have to get an engine right. so i was thinking this would do the trick for me.

Problem is, I need it to be a short shaft. Can someone lead me thru the process of making it into a short shaft? I want to kno, cuz most likely i will be trading. My mom is just out for the count right now and she said 80 percent yes. So, How exactly would u make it a short shaft. Thx and goodbye.

If you just want it shorter, just cut the shaft to the length and file off the edges. Make sure the length is exact though. If you're talking about a SG shaft, then you can't make it work.

But how long? Whats a SG shaft

If you're not gonna be picky, just get the cvr-x with the short shaft. Only compromise is that you'll have a rotary carb instead of the slider carb. If you're dead set on the slider carb you're gonna have to cut it yourself or just take it down to the LHS and have them cut it if you're not surre of your own abilities. Ask then to show you so the next time you can do it yourself. It shouldn't cost that much to cut it to length.

Measure twice, cut once.

Smurfola. I asked the sam thing on a recent post I did. Look for it.There isn't much to it just tighten the clutch nut onto the shaft with the flywheel on ONLY. Then eyebal it the space that didn't get screwed down.Try cutting the shaft little at a time as you can't put back what you cut off. I wonder if Lorraine Bobbit thought of this when she did her husbands' Unit!!

for the same money you can get the picco .12 roar legal. thing is about 2-3 times faster then that but not a pull start though. not sure if it would need to be cut or not ?
