    Now the bad part, the flywheel key way is so “wallowed out”
    and flywheel is loose on the taper. Not shown is the points
    cam that catches the bottom of the key to locate it.
    The keyway on the flywheel is okay, and I have a new
    key that fits good in it.
    Has anyone tried JB Weld to tighten up a keyway?
    I don’t have equipment or skill to weld up and cut
    a new keyway. Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

    With your skills you can make a key to fit the crankshaft
    then mill down the part for the flywheel.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
