You'll need to remove it ,clean up any burrs and replace the key. Clean the shaft and bore of the flywheel with brake cleaner, reassemble and tighten.

W

winner

Thank goodness, flywheel loose

Do I just tighten it up?.

Not bad for a new guy huh. Figured it was about time I signed up here. These guys just want you to tear apart a perfectly good saw so you can cut the squish band, port the cylinder ,install a hd2 filter and dual port muffler. Lol

And your point is......

Key broken

How do I get off shaft?

 

[Chainganger]

Need a new key, it got worn off, where do I get it?

 

[shawn022]

Use a small screw driver and hammer. Usually if you drive the remains of the key towards the saw it will lift up and you can dig it out. Sometimes they are a pain to get out. Just take your time.
Just get a new key from your dealer or check with the forum host and see if they have them.

Like most people, I don't have one.

 

[Chainganger]

OK, got it out

Thanks for checking in on this thread.

Other than a face spray of gas this is going pretty good

Muffler already modded when I bought saw, it is strong enough for now

I am getting a beer!

 

[beaglebriar]

A quick search on HL didn't turn up a key. Definitive Dave might be able to hook you up.

 

[merc_man]

OK, I am going in!

Pray for me!,

Good luck little buddy. Lol

 

[merc_man]

Yep just sprayed my face with gas

I need to go get long torxs wrench to go thru cylinder

What size?

First it crapped the bed, now sprayin ya in the face. Better kick it out.

 

[exSW]

You can get a key at the hardware store.

 

[cgraham1]

Now would be the perfect time to advance the timing.

 

[Definitive Dave]

Send me a pm and I will send you a key n/c

With the flywheel on the left and saw facing forward, key on top, which side of the key do I shave off a little, the front or the back side?

Flywheel has to go counter clockwise to advance and clockwise to retard the timing.

 

[Chainganger]

So I shave a little off the back of the key, the side towards operator, which would move flywheel a little counterclockwise.

 

[merc_man]

If your shaving the part of key that is in the crank shave off the front of key (front of saw)if key at 12 oclock

See, I had it back words, I have trouble visualizing things
