Elto called this the “strap”. It runs from an eccentric
on the underside of the flywheel to the timer. The end
most likely was broken off because the timer was
frozen. Someone, thinking the motor was stuck, forced
the flywheel to see if they could free the motor up and
it broke.
I made this jig to attempt to repair it with the aluminum
brazing rod. I was about ready to start but I wanted to
see if I could get the end of the strap tighter to the brass
rod. One tap with the hammer was all it took.

Plan B
This arrangement came on the motor.

The home made strap seemed to be correct dimensionally
only lacking the hole that takes oil from the upper main
bearing to the timer to lubricate it.
Lacking the facilities, equipment, as well as the skills that
some have here, this is my boat house solution.
While I managed get the hole centered though the material
I’m to one side a little.
My eye-crometer has always been a bit off.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
