Well, now I have 1st and 2nd pinion sets stuck together with their bearings respectively. Easier I think.
But I've always used the crude and lazy way if I wanted to take the bearing out. Use a hammer to tap the bearing out slowly.

Guys,
I recently got the 20t pinion. Tried installing it last night and found out that I don't have a proper tool for this pinion. The pinion wrenches that come with the kit only goes down to 21t.
So, my question is, how do you guys remove/install odd sized pinions likt the 20t one?
Any idea if serpent makes a 15t pinion?
Cheers...

There is a tool made for holding pinions. It looks like a plastic nut cracker with grooves in it that hold the teeth. It's pretty cheesey but effective.

What you need is actually two tools to do it right. the pinion tools are included in the kit but than you also need 802514 Serpent Centax-3 Clutch Housing Tool

If it's not the glow plug, is he using a fuel filter? Maybe something got into the engine thru the carb.

I think he will become a new engine from the dealer

Yes, I try to use the force from time to time.

Have you lost your telescope Onkel Sow? What's about the tool not working with the lightened clutch bell? Works fine for all of us.

Firstly, I mounted the 1st gear pinion with the 5x10x4 bearing. Then screwed the 1st gear pinion to the 20T 2nd gear pinion by hand as tight as I could.
Then I screwed the 1st and 2nd gear pinion assembly by screwing the 2nd gear pinion onto the lightened clutchbell. Used my 802514 Serpent Centax-3 Clutch Housing Tool to hold the lightened clutchbell and then used my 1st gear pinion holder to tightened the pinion assembly onto the lightened clutchbell.
When you do this, the 2nd geat 20T pinion automatically gets tightened as well.
