Woodruff Keys

[LilCerberus]

I bought a Chinese 2stroke from Lucky Early Bird.

I keep losing Woodruff Keys.
Could someone please tell me where I can find Woodruff Keys, & what size I'd need?

tnx

Either buy them from a vendor, or buy (local) one close (a little large) and file down.

I couldn't find any Woodruff keys, those Half-Moon shaped slivers of metal needed to hold the Bevel Gear & Magneto Wheel in position...

What do you mean, loosing the keys?
You haven't looked for them in the correct store.Possibility...Lowe's or Home Depot. Good possibility...NAPA or some Mom and Pop stores. Then through a engine vendor or anywhere on line.

The Ace Hardware stores near me(Denver Colorado) carry SAE and metric woodruff keys.
How are you "loosing" them? They usually don't just fall out.

Because of the way the engine rod spins, the screw that holds the bevel gear in place unscrews itself, then the bevel gear pops off.

the 3 x 5 x 12mm was pretty close, but too thick.
