CRANKSHAFT AND COMPONENTS
1. Slide thrust washer onto P.T.O. end of shaft
(chamfer toward crankshaft). Lubricate bear-
ing journals on crankshaft and assemble bear-
ings (sleeve or ball) on either end (see Figure
8-6). NOTE: Engines with ball bearings do not
use a thrust washer.
Some early production KT17 sleeve bearing
models have a notched spacer between the lip of
the bearing and the crankcase on the flywheel
end of the crankshaft. The bearing tab should fit
into this notch.
