I thought I would adjust the pony engine clutch while I had the gearbox opened to time the magneto. No matter how much I advance the collar I couldn't get the clutch to snap over. It has started the diesel in the past, but the brake isn't to great. And it seems to turn the diesel when starting the pony engine. But last time I started the engine it disengaged on startup. Any thoughts?

In addition, while I was in the gearbox I noticed a 1" welch plug laying loose on the brake mechanism which I fished out with a magnet.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
