    Pulling the crank

    Is there any info out there for a step by step procedure of pulling the cranks to have a keyway cut. I have two 5 horse briggs with a 5/8" shaft. My cousin who is a machinist said he would cut the keyway for free.

    Cheapskate 18 pound valve springs

    Has anyone just stretched the stock springs so they have more force? I know it probably wouldn't be a long term solution to buying heavier springs.
