[SEL] Austral 351

[Patrick Livingstone]

I have been taking a closer look. The flywheels definitely do not line up
but the keyways do (although the pulley on one side makes it hard to see).
Once I get the pulley off I should be able to see more clearly of the
problem is the crankshaft or the flywheel. The owner of another early
Austral said that his spokes do not quite line up as the keyways were not
cut correctly in the factory!
