Is it the right rotor for the engine & is it bolted up tight?The stator is held in place with a series of 3 or 4 bolts into the housing. Is it the correct housing & stator?
So today I couldn't resist a trial start up. After 5 or 6 tries it started and ran and revd.
Have you got the alternator and stator in the right way round Gary?. There should be clearance if they are fitted correctly. And is the flywheel correctly torqued?
Not a lot of clearance when set right. There is a couple of dowels to align casing. I forgot mine on the 550 start up and I had contact. Was quickly remedied with dowels in place.
Check the rotor is spinning true, i have had a bent crank end before

Cheers Ted, but "runner" is a bit optimistic at the moment.

ThanksDo Not start it without the cover on as, the oil pressure will push the bung out and you will have all the oil on the floor
Plus the bung will disapear into the dimmest darkest corner of the workshop, not to be seen again until you have taken out a second mortgage to buy the lasy unobtainium one on the planet!
