Fastassbanshee96 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I just put on an adjustable timing plate and followed all the directions as posted in the forum. It says in there that when you take off the flywheel the key will fall out... Mine didn't. This is the first time I did one of these and don't know where the key is located. I looked all over the place and did not see anything. So I said screw it if it was running befor it should run after. Lol. So pretty much where is it located, if anyone has a pic that would be great, and can you run without one without it effecting performance or anything else. It seems to be running fine. Haven't really gotten to open it up cause my neighbors hate it and always call the cops on me. Just wanted to know befor I take it out and either have problems or end up screwing something up. Any info would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amstall Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 ya you need it. there is kind of a half moon cut out of the shaft where it goes, if its not there look inside your flywheel (its magnetic) its probably stuck in there. if you can't find it you'll need to find a new woodruff key to replace it. when you put it all back together make sure you set your pickup distance away from the NUB on the flywheel, not the body. had a friend get in a hurry a while back and set it up wrong and ruin his brand new pickup on his RS stator. just take your time and rotate it by hand before covering it back up and you'll be fine.

SAVAGE420 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Here is a pic of the key and where it should be bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastassbanshee96 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 So let me see if I've got this right.... It looks like in the pic, the key is actually on the shaft where the notch in the flywheel slides over it and the holds the flywheel from spinning on the shaft? If so I have that. I just didn't know exactly what I was looking for. All I knew was it was alittle haft moon piece. And as far as setting the pick up, from what I have read is that you want about a bussness cards thinkness between that and the flywheel or the nubs on the flywheel. Is this correct.
