This is just my own feeling; but I don’t think JB weld is going to stand up to the heat, vibration and torque of a drive shaft/crankshaft connection, even on a little 3 hp.To me, it seems like a LOT of work for a possibly disappointing outcome. Just sayin’. I am sure it will work for awhile, but……If it were me, I’d be looking for another parts motor with a good crankshaft and do it the way God and OMC intended. It’s maybe a lot of work; but at least when you’re done, you can be sure it will last.
Long live American manufacturing!
