Hi Max and AVB,
I had a look and yes you are right Max. The flywheel key is completely sheared. Must have been completely gone perhaps explaining the seeming lack of compression. I checked the bar blade key and its OK. It seems much bigger. No obvious bends or dents either. Ill get some keys, they seem about 4 mm thick. then Ill see if it goes and hopefully runs smoothly.
i wonder why the flywheel key shears? Seems like it almost the furtherest think awau from the impact. I guess the sudden stop combined with the weights on the flywheel.
