I have a slight oil leak from the selector shaft on one of the Y560's and I need to remove the shaft so I can replace the "O" ring. What I am not sure about is what or how the end of the shaft engages to for it to select the gears. Looking at the exploded drawing I can't see what it is connected to. The shaft moves in and out to select the gears. Anybody have any thoughts?
I picked this one up today but it being a 10.5hp motor it is too hard to pull start. Runs fine when it does start. I have an old 11hp electric start motor and I'm hoping that I can swap the bits across to turn this one into electric start. Anybody have any thoughts on if it will fit. I think it has the 2 bolts to bolt the starter on and the fuel tank has a cutout to fit around the starter.
Hard to pull start can be a sign of excessive valve clearance as the compression isn't released for starting ,obviously you can't adjust the clearances on Top Dead Centre.
The 10.5 looks like a newer motor than the 11 hp motor , if there's no ring gear on the 10.5 the 11 flywheel should fit.
I don't think you will waste much time if the parts don't swap across Norm. I would think you shouldn't have a problem changing the parts over.
Thanks Max, I thought it should swap over without too many issues as long as the stator has the mounting points on the new motor. I don't think it is the valves leaking, it is just so heavy to get it spinning and I am just not strong enough these days to get it spinning fast enough to fire. It runs very well once you get it running. I will see how it works out. MF, This motor would need one very big impulse starter 10.5 hp requires big shoulders to get fired up
