[SEL] Flywheel spoke(s) line-up

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Your crankshaft is definitely twisted Rick.  Since its basically scrap
now, I'll take it off your hands, free of charge of course.  

Seriously, George is right.  I've seen several of the earlier makes
(mostly 1910 and prior) that have misaligned spokes.  I had an Otto that
was way off and it was totally original.  

I wouldn't worry a bit if I were you.

Several engines came from the manufacturer that way.
I don't remember which ones now, but I know that on some engines that
came that way. People in the know sometimes point it out to unsuspecting
people and tell them they've got a twisted crankshaft as a joke.

G'day from saturated Montana;

  On our 6hp Galloway, when looking thru the flywheel spokes, they don't

line up with each other.  Both flywheels run fairly true and keyways and

keysets line up.

  I'd sure hate to think I have a twisted crankshaft.

Any ideas?
