[Shop-talk] small engine shaft mismatch

[john niolon]

thanks Jeff and John.... that was exacterly what I was looking for but never 
googled 'sleeve'     we tried to make one today but didn't have the 
precision we needed (old lathe and dummy operators)     Just ordered it and 
on my way to H.F. for the engine...

thanks
John
