The bushing is made to the worm gear, The sleeve that you are talking about is what the weorm gear bushing slips over
I agree with that. He's saying that the bushing between the inner race and the clutch is free, not locked to the crank.+If the worm is turning when the crank moves, then the drum/chain will turn, and something is wrong.
I kinda figured we were arguing about the same thing. I was calling it a bushing. You're calling it a sleeveThe bushing is made to the worm gear, The sleeve that you are talking about is what the weorm gear bushing slips over

The worm definitely should only spin with the drum
We have always called it a bushing as well, as it bushes up the crank to fit the seal, I referred to the part number back in an earlier post but I see now others have a different name for it. We have never referred to the bronze part of the oil pump drive as a bushing so confusion reigns.I kinda figured we were arguing about the same thing. I was calling it a bushing.

Still doesn't explain why the worm is melting. Lmao. I think the washer was on inside out
The washer is marked "Top", which goes out.
Can't find a pic with that label on it, but this is the top. This side goes out toward the clutch

I believe it’s this way. IIRC, the concave part goes towards the worm gear, the convex part towards the clutch.

Again, making sure the tit of the worm gear arm rotates freely with a pic and doesn’t turn when crank is rotated is all you need to do to make sure it’s all good.
Well shìt. I had that backwards. Not sure if reversing it would interfere with the oil worm now. Sorry guys

Good morning Jerry.
It’s pretty clear that there is friction there. All he needs to do is see that the worm oiler tang rotates without resistance with the clutch tightened down. If there is resistance, there will be friction and a lot of heat really fast.
