Tubs, I believe it was pure luck if any of these crankcase or lower unit
"steel stampings" didn’t cause any binding at the factory when new!
I tried "tweeking" the flange of one stamping with a hammer to get
the halves to mate better, and hence not leak.
Mumbles, after today the little Thor built engine will probably
hang on the rack until I die. Now that I’ve heard it run, my
motto is "Quit while you’re ahead" 😀 , but I’m anxious to
hear yours run!
You’re my idol Buck. Now you are giving me inspiration to try and get mine running!
quote Tubs:
Sounds really good. I would imagine that the way
they are constructed it is hard to get back together
without some slight binding. Small horse power
motors like yours really struggle, epically when
running slow, till they get some run time and
free up.

Prepare to be boarded!
