Bingo-
It's the crank. I measured it.

 

will it go all the way on?like bottom out?

 

Yep.

 

Hub ID is 1.247".

 

People buy the cheapest Chinese crap they can and then are surpised when it is exactly what they payed for - a piece of junk.

Rich

 

Agreed to some extent with the "cheap" comments. The crank I bought is forged and the two problems I had cost me $30 extra from the overall price. The bushing I received for free from Eagle. The crank balanced well and did not need any material added. Even with these two minor setbacks I probably would still buy Eagle or equivalent and take the gamble.

 

I know it's cheap, but how about some advice on the situation!

Bolt the hub on?
Have the hub keyed?
Or am I intercoursed?

 

Why can't you call them and have it replaced?

 

The engine is together and I'd rather have a "simple" fix, if possible.

 

Why do you ask?

 

the stock hub is tapered right?

I would say if it didn't bottom out try it and see what happens..... If you really don't want to pull it back down you could probly try a different hub or have one machined.....

I think you need to talk to a good machinist to see your options.....I realize you don't want to take it back apart, An eagle kit was recommended to me also..so I went with it and didn't have any problems.

I'm another hater of Eagle cranks, having worked on some new engines and had balancer fitment problems.

Maybe get a Chinese balancer on the other side of tolerance to fit it.

 

Along with some lead based paint.

 

Now were thinking. Maybe paint the snout with the paint to take up the slack.

 

It's a used crank, just a couple miles. My brother had it but didn't run it long enough for any problems to arise. He probably just didn't pay attention to how easy it went on.
