I used the correct puller on the hub correctly, without screwing the bolts in too far. i feel as though we're getting a bit too focused on that part. I also wasn't assuming any humor from you fred. I don't know where you got the idea that it ran well without the oil because the whole purpose of starting this thread, along with introducing myself, is to find a solution to the problem of it not running at all. We haven't quite got there yet but that's not from a lack of quality suggestions from you all, it's mainly due to my having no experience in this field at all! Which I guess is plain for anyone to see based on the questions I'm asking. It really doesn't need to be mentioned, so I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're going to post a comment purely based on how sad this is I'd rather you just keep it to yourself.

Cheers,

Ben

 "I have seen the resulting damage that someone did from screwing in those screws too far that they dug into the stator coils and totally destroyed the PE400 stator."

Stupid Mr Mc Hanics apprentice did that to my brand new PE in 1982. then his dipstick mate kicked it over "to check compression"
I was waiting two weeks for him to get new coils...
