5. Remove the nut securing the driven pulley; then

remove the splined bushing, centrifugal clutch,

pulley, and V-belt.

INSTALLING

1. Using a rubber mallet, spread the driven pulley

sheaves by driving the V-belt down between the

sheaves; then slide the driven pulley and V-belt

into position.

KM262

2. Install the centrifugal clutch housing onto the

driven shaft; then install the splined bushing and

secure with the driven pulley retaining nut.

Tighten to 43 ft-lb.

KM276

3. Install the movable drive face onto the crankshaft

making sure to “bottom” the sheave out against the

center bushing. The crankshaft splines should be

visible and the stepped washer should sit over the

splines.

KM263A

4. Secure the movable drive face to the crankshaft

with the drive pulley nut and tighten to 43 ft-lb.

5. Install the V-belt cover and tighten the cap screws

securely; then connect the cooling boots and

tighten the clamps securely.

6. Install the footwell assembly. Tighten all hardware

securely.

! CAUTION

If the splines are not protruding as shown, the V-belt
may be too deep in the drive sheaves. This would
cause the drive pulley to be under-tightened and
severe drive sheave or crankshaft damage could
occur.
