Hi all,

I've been reading about how replacing a timing key in a lawnmower. Is
there any place on the internet that tells how to do with with
picturess and all?

Thanks, Peggy (who ran over a stump... and now her lawn is at least one
foot tall!)

Most people, instead of making their mower higher than the stump,
would leave the height setting the same and go around the hump.

As to the timing key, once you have every thing off that covers the
flywheel, and you have the flywheel off, the key is easy to replace.
It fits in a notch where half of the notch is in the tapered part of
the crank shaft, and the ohter half is in the flywheel.

I'm guessing your question was mostly about the first two lines of the
previous paragraph, and for that I refer you Jimi's question. I can't
really answer that part anyhow.

Everyone hits something once in a while.
