Briggs and Stratton - Flywheel Key Replacement

[@johncollins8304]

15:51 Great -- how to stop the crank, motor turning as you torque the but. Most vids show just using impact, previous showed blocking blades with 4x2 (UK speak), you use G-clamp (UK speak). Brilliant. Thanks.

It's sounds like ringing when trying to start it. It's the woodruff key.

HELP NEEDED. I have a 2008 lawnboy with a Briggs I got for free and I did everything you did to it. I put a brand new carb on, changed the oil, and put a new plug in. And it has started and ran for a bit it but starts smoking. And then when I put the air box and air filter back on, I can’t get it to start at times, but when it does it sounds like it is suffocating and just bogs. I was wondering your opinion before I get into this project. Flywheel key def sounds more and more like the issue. Thanks.

Definitely check the flywheel key. I have overlooked it in the past and it was frustrating to do all that work and still have something wrong. Then I finally look to the flywheel key and "head slap"!

At least the fly wheel was broken otherwise the customer is going to be paying for a new one 💰💸

[@RealManSkills]

Yes, the flywheel key did it's job and saved the engine from more damage. Thanks for watching!

@@RealManSkills cool to hear that young man 😎👍 as far as the blade adapter is concerned I've them get messed up because of the blade not being placed in the right spot on them
