I have a 2hp Briggs & Stratton engine on a older Montgomery Wards sidewalk edger, when I got it from my dad last year It would not start I found the flywheel key had sheared off I replaced it and edged my sidewalks and parked it for the winter. Fast forward I tried to start it this year but it had no spark, i went to clean up the points and found the key sheared again. I replaced it and it started on the first pull it idled good so I took it to half throttle for about 20 seconds when it started hammering and quit. I checked it out and found the flywheel key sheared again and the engine seems to be tight. My thought is the engine went out of time when the key sheared causing the timing to cause the -reigniting rattle? My local parts supplier has been giving me aluminum key stock
I’ve since read that pre-2002 engines use steel keys. Can anyone verify this for me?
