Since the armature on my clutch fried itself in the last heavy wet snow, I bought a new armature for it and am in the process of reassembly and running into some issues.

1. There is a spacer (about 1" deep) between the rotor and the bearing on the armature. If I stack the rotor, spacer and the armature together on the table, it looks from the manual that there should be a gap of .060-.090". Mine is more like .006". So do I need to find some shims for it?

I did notice the spacer is rounded on the ends as it is probably somewhat worn from rubbing on the bearing that was failing.

2. When I put the assembly on the crankshaft, the washer on the bolt going into the crank is smaller diameter than the crank itself? (about 1" diameter, the crank is 1.125") I'm thinking the washer should be touching the inner race on the armature bearing? Am I correct?

This is the way that I took it apart, which doesn't mean it was correct to begin with.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
