What's the best way to figure that out before I put it back together?
:D Gotta just think through how the parts need to be oriented to function as intended. :D
That said that is not not always obvious.
Take the foot pedal(crank) for instance. In addition to the upside down problem is the rotational positioning relative to the cam lobe. The foot pedal arms are not equally spaced. Two spaces are closer than the third. The normal operation is to depress the first arm of the closely spaced which applies the smaller od of the cam against the pistons(cam follower). A additional depression of the second arm of the closely spaced results in the large od of the cam pressing on the piston. The third arm is closely spaced to the second, but going forward the spacing is far greater between it and the first arm. This greater spacing allows the cam shaft to rotate back down from the highest point to the low point(resting) of the cam.
In addition there is the left/right version difference. Rotation is reversed.
I know of at least one forum member that simply gave up trying to figger it out and just drilled new holes to make it 'work'. His name shall not pass my lips, but his post can be 'discovered'. :rolleyes:
