HI Alleyoop. yes the boss slides over the shaft and the variator slides over it.

the shinnier one is the end of the variator. the deeper/smaller is the boss.
ill take it apart now and take a pic.

Here is a pic of the inside of the fan. the BOSS is actually up against the fan. the gap you see is between the variator and the fan. is this normal? Attachments:

Thanks, I do have the washer on there and a new nut. I can get a fan for about 20.00 here locally. I guess I will need to work on the spline a little more. I did notice that if I look between the fan and the variator underneath the belt when the nut is fully seated there is a little gap between the boss and the fan.

Hi Alleyoop, the fan is a new one. i just bought it about a month ago. but the teeth on the fan are now gone again because the fan spun on the spline. i may have to to buy another fan and work on the spline some more. the fan should slide pretty far back on to the spline right? i think i remember being able to see the teeth of the spline past the fan before they got chewed up.

Hi Guys,
I need your expertise again. On my Linhai we had an issue where the locking nut for the variator fan worked itself loose and chewed up the fan. I bought a new fan and when I went to replace it I noticed the crankshaft that the fan slides on to is chewed up. I tried to file the teeth back so that the fan could slide back on to it the best I could. I put it back together and it seemed to be working for a while but today when we checked the fan has begun to work itself loose and is rubbing against the variator cover. I even used red lock-tite!! ;D
I think I’m going to need to replace the crankshaft. Is this something doable… worth doing? Or is there a way to permanently affix the nut to the shaft so that it doesn’t work itself loose again?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Robert

JR and All,
Its fixed!! I'm embarrased to say this but... the waterpump was not on right. the slotted spindle was not making proper contact with engine so it wasnt turning. i removed the outer portion of the pump and ran the bike and it wasnt tuning. i removed the inner portion and ran the engine a revolotion or two and the slot turned. i remounted the inner and then the outer topped it off and the radiator immediatly began to rise in temp and wha-la!! we have fan... and its cycling.
i wish this post would be one for the tech section.... i guess we need a boob section now!!
i wanted to thank you VERY MUCH for sticking with me and not getting frustrated. this site is a wealth of knowledge and talent and i thank you.
Robert
