Question : Tim or anyone else , what was your opinion of the Drake rebuild , how long did it take and any contact details.

My alternator drive coupling failed after about 50 hours. I put it down to kickback on startup and had the mags retarded a little. The original coupling was elastomeric and had failed in sheer. I managed to locate an alternative style that was mechanical but has rubber inserts for shock absorbtion. I got it second hand and from memory only cost about 100.

I determined that the Alt. was not producing power and removed it. I am sure Cont. could have made that job harder if they tried. I found the Alt. was ok but the Alt. Drive Coupling Assembly (P/N 635796) was broken, the Lord rubber mount came loose from the ss shroud. Better if the Alt was bad. The bad news is that Cont. wants $2077.00 for this part, no, the engine is not included! The not so bad news is that Drake rebuilds them and they can be had for $600.00 to $900.00, with a good core. I only had a little over 400 hrs. on the engine. I had to remove a Slick Mag to get the Alt. out, so I had the mag 500 hr service done. New points and replaced a bad gear. So for only a $1000.00 + I now have lots of amps & volts. Hope you have the "good" ones! This message and any attachments are intended for the use of the addressee or addressees only.
