[QUOTE="Canadian Dave, post: 124369, member: 16102"] Have a look at the clutch cover. You'll see the main KIPS shaft running up vertically (almost) from the centrifugal actuator to the cylinder. When you remove the gray plastic cover to expose the shaft you'll see a nut on top that retains a gear to the shaft. Two important things to note here; one the nut uses a reverse thread and two you need to support the shaft when removing and installing the nut. If you look just below the gear you'll see the diameter of the shaft increases to support the gear. Most people will grasp the shaft here, just below the gear. This is a week point in the system and its not uncommon for people to attempt to remove the nut not knowing its reverse thread or over torque the nut when installing it. Doing so can damage the shaft near the bottom. The shaft can break and the bottom section falls into the clutch area where any number of nasty things can happen :( The shaft will last the life of the motor if its properly supported. Unfortunately the shop manual doesn't mention the need to support the shaft. It does however include a caution warning the nut uses a reverse thread. I hope that helps. David [/QUOTE]
