    did you torque the nut up?
    i found with lukes bike if i didn't torque to the required 25 ft pounds it would eventually come loose enough to cause slippage which is a bad thing for the ol clutch shaft i found.

    Not exactly

    Used thee old - that 'feels like' 25.2 foot pounds on the spanner technique.

    will run it for an hour and recheck it.

    Thanks.

    Good advise... that should have been listened to.

    Got five minutes out of it before the nut come loose - wearing a hole through the outer caseing.

    Learn as ya go.

    Not sure how I'm going to fit something on the nut to torque it as it's not a socket end, just two flats that a cresant fits.

    FBH is a type of big hammer. Loctite should hold it in place, maybe 222 or perhaps something stronger. I have used hemp string down the sparkplug hole to lock the engine while undoing nuts or bolts.

    There is a centrifugal acceleration from a centripetal force.
