Damn right it was ???????????

I'll add, it might be partially my fault. The key has a small gash in it from when the flywheel fell off, and most likely weekened it. But I said, "Naaaaaahhh FACK it" and we're here lol. That's exactly why the key sheared (it split exactly where the the gash was).

Wait, wut? When the hell did the flywheel fall off with enough force to crack the key?

Week back or so, wasn't cracked but gashed pretty deep. The flywheel backed off the crank cuz the nut loosened off and the key probably hit the keyway

Yikes. I'm still impressed that it cracked like that. Never heard of a crank key falling apart like that. You sure do attract some interesting motor gremlins! ? ? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Hopefully that's the whole story and you won't have anymore motor issues for a while. ? (y)

Well, I guess its good you found it. Perhaps it was detonation from bad timing. Then wouldnt run because timing drifted to far. Im talking out my ass but it makes sense to me.

Makes sense to me. Or maybe it was the flywheel slipping in the crank and the broken woodruff halfs smacking eachother. I'll be happy if it fixes it.
