This 57 Big Twin is being converted to electric start using a flywheel from a slightly newer Lark but I’m having issues getting the flywheel to bed down on the crankshaft. It doesn’t want to go the last 1/8" or so. It stops and rocks around with about half the needed threads for the nut exposed.
Both keyways are clean and true and the key fits into both of them OK. This motor has the long key and I’ve tried it with the key set multiple ways but it still wants to hang up. Shortening the key might work but I’m wondering if I’m not overlooking something as it seems the keyway in the flywheel might not be deep enough? 😕
