[SEL] FM Mdl Z Style C 3HP

[Jim Jirik]

Reg,

I appreciate your help, but I need it spelled out a little better for me!  I'm just a stupid salesman so forgive my slow uptake.   You made the following statement in your earlier response:

"An awful lot can be achieved with a sash cramp and a few wood wedges."


I don't know what a sash cramp is!!  Maybe you can spell it out a little better for me- I would appreciate it

Thanks,
Jim Jirik

If you show 1/16th variation, that will give you a 1/8th runout. And I bet
it looks awful !! It should pull back ok.

> I took a tape to the flywheels and measured between them in different
positions.  At most places it measured 17-1/4", but there was a place that
it was 1/16th more.  Is that enough to assume a bent shaft?  And to let you
know, it is only the one flywheel that wobbles.  The other seems to run
true.
