Yanclone and Ruggerini cranks: straight or tapered?

[albertaphil]

I have a Ruggerini 650cc with a tapered crankshaft. Does anyone know what the dimensions of this crank is (dia. and taper).

I also have a 10hp yanclone out of a generator with a tapered crankshaft. The yanclones sold by Princess Auto (if you're Canadian, you'll know the store I'm talking about:) are straight crankshafts. What are all you oil burners running?

Cardan crew often use tapered, Enfield gearbox types use straight, dunno about Comet. Try the Hoffco site or call a dealer? I'm using straight Hatz without keyway, but this wasn't by choice. Use the keyway if you can.

I know for sure Comets come in a range of different shaft diameters (straight).

I'm using yanclones with the straight shaft and 6mm keyway, end of shaft is also drilled and tapped.
