magikk Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi everyone,I picked up a Champion blower awhile ago.I got it working OK ,but after using for awhile it goes out of adjustment.I then have to re adjust the set screws on the front shaft where the phosphor bronze gear sits.How tight should I tighten the set screws? If I tighten them too much its hard to turn.Thanks for any help. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReynolds Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well now I cannot see what you are doing so I have to assume you are doing it incorrectly. Them set screws ain't for that. You need to use the plugs. They be threaded in the bore of the case. They have two small holes in which you insert a tool to turn the plug. If I was at work I could send pictures of that assembly. Unassembled. Maybe I can wake up Joey and he can shoot you over some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReynolds Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 center the bronze gear to worm gear. use the threaded bushings to lock in this location. they are turned in snugly.There are lock nuts with end thrust screws to adjust the gear in place.

magikk Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Okay So I should use the plug with the two holes to adjust the position of the gears initially. Then do I use use the set screw for fine tuning? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReynolds Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm gonn tell you the truth. I have only taken apart and assembled five of these. I cannot tell you what I had for breakfast, my friend. I do not have one here where I'm at. I can look inside one and then, perhaps, I'd remember..............(??) You could be correct. I asked Joey but he hasn't had his coffee yet this morning. He has a video, so............He wanted you to contact him via Facebook or look for his youtube video.

magikk Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks I'll check out his videos on YouTube. I don't do Facebook. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magikk Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I did watch the video on youtube and what I was calling set screws Joey is calling adjusters and there is a nut on the threaded adjuster on the blower in the video and mine had no nuts just the threaded screw .I guess I'll find some nuts the same thread and try getting things adjusted again.Then I imagine tighten the nuts down to hold the set screws in to adjustment Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
