Thanks...I am struggling to figure out how to remove the nut tho. I cant seem to break it lose while trying to keep it from spinning.

You need to use an impact wrench to break the nut loose and the pulley should come off in your hand.
If you don't have a compressor and/or impact, take it to your local auto repair place and ask if they will change it out for you.
should only be a couple of bucks if they charge you at all.

Also, for future repairs with no compressor, Sears sells a pretty nice 110v electric 1/2" drive impact wrench.

I'd like to thank everyone for the help on my Starter questions. I do have another one tho. I apologize but I am used to the electric carts and this is my first 2 cycle one ever. After putting the starter/generator on, it runs great. What I am curious about is, is it normal for this thing to get hot while running it?(starter/generator) Mine is really warm...no problems with driving it tho atleast for the 30 minutes of wide open driving I did. I am just wondering if it is common to be hot and if not, what do i look at....Thank you.

It normally gets warm but not as hot as the exhaust. Usually your wires will tell you if something is wrong as they should not be warm at all.

Thanks, wires were just fine not warm at all. I appreciate the help, and like your pic.
