    I think I have it fixed now.
    I noticed the bolt had been re-peened and had non-factory looking punch marks.
    I wasn’t sure if the plate was loose on the pin, or if someone had it apart before.
    I had to grind the end of the pin off to get it out of the plate. Once apart, I discovered
    there’s a copper clutch band that provides the needed friction on the dog plate.
    I made a new pin and the old one was too short to re-peen once I got it out.
    Then bent the clutch band tighter and reinstalled everything. I tested it out
    on the motor, and it seems okay so far.
    Took the rewind back off as I need to peed the pin tomorrow, and paint the rewind.
    I’ve never seen this type of rewind before.
