    Few questions about my old 5hp motor

    Well. Mine didn't have a bolt on the outside. It had 2 allen screws which I removed. Then I used my puller to pull the "CLUTCH" off lol. Came off after about 2 minutes with the puller. Thanks for the help guys.

    Few questions about my old 5hp motor

    My father had to reweld some parts on the front probably before I was born, also the foot pedal was installed by him. So the front spring probably wasn't there factory wise. The shocks on the rear were originally there.

    Thanks for the reply. I have tons of buttons, toggle switches laying around, I'll definitely use the toggle for sure, when I get around to it. You make a good point.

    What is this?

    I see a few differences between the two. Handle bars on mine are straight all the way to the front tire. My rear brake is done by a foot pedal. And the front springs are a bit different.
