how to get nut off? or clean engne as is?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

don't need a spec tool !. remove the 4 bolts that hold the lifter, under it is the clutch basket nut, its right hand threads, counter clock wise to remove.

re-use the nut. in the future ?, use a drift punch, chisel , hammer on the tangs, work it off counter clockwise, easy.
