Key-flywheel 796335

The conecting pin or key between the motor and the pump was broken. It was replaced and it is working very ell.

Remove cowl and gas tank. Remove the split fly wheel and key replace old flywheel and key with new. Install gas tank and cowl. Easy peasy. lol

First I removed the four bolts holding the cover on the top of the engine. Second loosened the large nut on top of the flywheel. Third thing I did was remove the two small bolts on the top of the flywheel and screwed in the two long flywheel puller bolts in their place. I tightened the flywheel puller bolts until the flywheel came loose ... Read more from the shaft. I removed the flywheel puller and took off the large nut that I previously loosened. I pulled off the flywheel and slid out the old damaged key and slid the new key in its place. I lined up the flywheel with the key, replaced the two small flywheel bolts and large bolt. I then reattached the engine cover and screwed the four engine cover bolts back onto the cover. The riding mower turned on easily without any backfire through the carburetor. Problem solved.
