Do I straighten the prop shaft or replace? It's slightly bent. Anyone know the part #? Thanks.

Mr Weed,I think the OP was asking about the prop SHAFT. Apparently his is bent.
You're right.
I recommend REPLACING (straightening should be the last resort).
Do you have the engine serial number?

Thanks. I see ebay has a few for around $40. The over $300 for a new one doesn't seem, to me, worth it. The whole engine isn't worth $300.
To close out this thread I bought a used straight one and replaced it. I think the total cost, including the seals and Oring was less than $60.
