Had shitty luck with old gas motors and thought I'd try something different
10 horse China diesel (yanmar knock off).
First was taking off the recoil assembly. Found out the threaded holes aren't exactly equidistant to each other. Won't be a problem, but made drawing them into the CAD software a bit trickier...
...So I just left them out of the plasma process. Instead I hand marked and drilled them in the bridgeport.
Test fitting looks good. Just need slightly shorter 6mm bolts.
Current plan is to weld this tube in the center and then weld a piece onto the end which will bolt to the two holes in the fiber disc coupler. I'll just have to be careful to check and recheck before final welding to ensure it's as balanced as possible. After all, any noticeable wobble could have disastrous results.
