Aaack!
I got my engine back from the engine builder, and everything looked good until I tried to put the generator back in - I can't seem to get the oil slinger on the end of the generator gear behind the idler gear - the bearing shield on the gen seems to get in the way. Before I had the engine rebuilt, I took the generator out and put it back in with no problem.
The K-model and Sportster have different idler gears. Is the K-model gear offset to one side? That might explain it. The engine builder didn't have the generator, and he's familiar with XLs.
I took some really rough measurements. The gears don't seem to align quite right. Is the idler gear offset, and he put it on upside-down?
Thanks,
Dave
