Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tap it to turn on the shaft. The shaft would turn also. I sprayed a little PB Blaster and left it. Came back and was able to wiggle it out, again adding some PB Blaster as I wiggled it out. It was on there so tight I couldn't put it back on. So, had some fine metal sand paper and rolled a piece up to fit inside the circle and spun the plate. Now it can move, but I was careful not to leave much play.
I hope someone can help, I have the same issue. Whereas I understand you filed the facing plate hole a bit, I’m not sure mine is that simple.
The crankshaft has a small increase in diameter close to the engine- this is what my plate is ‘wedged’ on. It’s difficult to move anywhere along the shaft- any ideas?
Many thanks, Vince.
