I just picked up a used one because the price was too good to pass up on a pile of misc gear it was included in. Put some fresh gas in it & it fired up.
Now for the silly question. I have the idler figured out on the belt. Cam it over & it locks in & drives. The "Brake" however is another question.
When I move the brake lever up & down nothing happens, The lever moves freely. I see the arm that runs down to the collar that I assume engages/disengages the brake has a setscrew in it that appears to be allowing the brake lever to turn freely in it. Once I get it tightened up I assume it will move freely. Should the brake release easily if the cable is under tension?
When the engine fired up & idled the bears began turning even though the belt tension arm was released. Is this normal or is the belt to tight?
What gear oil should be used in the gear box?
Any tips on using these things other than be careful?
