 SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A DUMB ASS
Took new LT homebuild out yesterday to check everthing out. Got cav. plate set , adjusted throttle and checked prop. Prop was a little loose so stuck new Klein screwdriver in u joint and tightened nuts. Grabed another beer, hit starter and BAMMM. New Klein screwdriver is now in 3 pcs. These 33 hp Generac engine have some strong sarters. As far as I can tell no damage to u joint, shafts or frame. Glad I didnt put cresent wrench in there. Anybody ever done this? By the way this thang runs like a scalded dog.
