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.
Prepare to be boarded!
