travas 3 Posted November 19, 2021 Ive been tearing down a 185atc 3 wheeler motor. Came out of a barn and had stuff in the intake. had lots of debris and carbon on the cylinder head. the valves were rusty and crumbling but other than that the engine is in good condition. Dont have a wiring harness or cdi box or any of the electrical stuff that requires it to run other than the stator and the thing under the pullstart cover. have a bolt on the crankshaft that allows the clutch to come off. not sure if it has reverse threads, a special locking mecanism or what. tried getinng it off with an heavy duty impact driver going counter clockwise. tried clock wise and nothing. I'm stumped. Id loom at a manual but haven't found a pdf yet and Ill probably buy one. I also would like to know if the engine can be washed in its current state. If it can what cleaning machine might be used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,751 Posted November 19, 2021 I haven't ever dug into an ATC engine, but I know on the older 300's and 350's the centrifugal clutch nut was reverse thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
