Check this out. $80 is a good price for a brand-new coil. I sold a used one last year for $75. You could get this one for a total investment of less than $100. Almost makes me wish I needed a coil:

My cam broke because the connecting rod let go from the crank and smacked it:

can you share the bolt length you used? i am getting ready to replace the cam gear and want to do it this way. thanks

That camshaft with the bolted gear came out of a parts motor like that. The bolts were hex head with nylock nuts. I would just get the shortest bolts you can and still have enough for the nylon on the nuts to grab. And use red loctite for good measure. Once you put the assembly together you can turn the motor by hand to make sure the bolts don't hit the wall or the crankshaft before you bolt the side cover back on.

i was going to add to that and also say that u might even have to grind the nuts down to clear. mine looked like springbok's and hit case. ended up loseing the nylock part to clear so used red locktite and peining bolt centers.

Just finished a cam gear repair using this bolt on method. Per the experience I would say best bet for bolts are #10-32 button head, stainless or grade 8. For lock nuts I like the compressed thread type and some red loctite. We used a 3/16 drill bit through the gear and if needed, a 13/64 drill through the mounting plate on the cam shaft. Use a bolt length of 1" or more, then snip off the excess after the nuts are installed. Low profile button head is important or interference with the counter weight on the crank will occur.

All the cam rivets were missing and the sheet metal plate ran all through the crank case of this engine causing a lot of damage. This repair remains in question but there's nothing to lose, so the engine is going back in the cart as-is.

Many thanks to Springbok and buggiesgonewild for all of the posts and photos on the kf82 engine.

Nice. Let us know if it works out.

If you still have that engine I sure would be interested
