Working on the key.
ok doesn't look bad, make sure the flywheel bore and the crank stub are clean, no dirt or oil. You want this to be a dry fit so it locks on good. When you install the flywheel give it a good shove so it locks on the taper well, then tighten the nut good. Set the coil gap to 10 thousandths, 2 sheets of paper will work or a business card. place that on the flywheel, loosen the nuts on the coil, push down very lightly and re tighten and pull the paper out. if you have rust on the flywheel magnets or coil use emery paper or such and sand the rust off. It will make a nice blue spark this way.
