Hi Sean, bummer, possibly the welding was 'hard to do' because the hardened metal of the shaft wouldn't stick to the softiron sprocket, and was as result welded at high temps (lucky your oilseals didn't burn away..). this resulted (in combination with fast cooling?) with a temp-crack in the shaft, waiting to open at some tension. was a fresh nut or new threat no option? now you have to replace the shaft to get it perfect. less perfect includes removing the shaft from the motor, welding it carefully, remove excesive welding rims, try to harden it again and putting it in again. luckily the sell spare shafts:) don't know what type you need. peter ----- Original Message ----- From: SeanM-@cs.com Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 3:44 AM Subject: Moped driveshaft Hello, i have a big problem with my drive shaft. recently my sprocked has been welded on. my sprocket has worked great for the past few weeks. but today when i was riding it my drive shaft snapped in half with the threaded part in the sprocket were the weld is and the other half on the bike. now how can i get this back on to work again?
