I had my flywheel off of my 1990 650 earlier this year. About a month ago , ski started to lose power gradually over the course of a couple of days. Eventually it would turn over but not start. After pulling my hair out for a couple of days, pulled cover off and noticed shattered woodruff key. As luck ( or unluck ) would have it, my 1994 701 engine is in pieces. Grabbed the 701 key and put it in the 650 ( 650 shaft seemed solid and woodruff key seemed tight). Ski ran great for about a week and is now starting to lose power again. Won't be able to look further into problem for a few days. Just wondering, are the woodruff keys the same for the 650 and 701 ? Does anyone know the size that I can get at hardware store ? If the woodruff key is shattered again , any idea why it would be ?
