Default RYOBI 31 CC - Am I Missing KEYWAY?

Have you come across this during your conversion of a Ryobi short shaft weedwacker motor for R/C aircraft use? While I was carefully removing the flywheel from a new RYOBI Weedwacker engine this is what I ended up with, see attached photo.

Nothing else was in there, I searched the floor, bench top and also the flywheel's magnet! Please clue me in, am I missing a piece of the keyway?


Embossed on the flywheel's front face is <Wabro G 58>


Thanks in advance,

Rejean

the "key" is cast as part of the flywheel, most of the newer engines are done this way.

Zagnut is right on about this and you have the good ign. (walbro) it is a hotter spark than the phelon.

Yup- it's cast into the flywheel. I've got 3 of these flywheels-- all long shafts.

I don't use them. I put electronic ignition on all my conversions. Anyone want to buy some flywheels and coils cheap?

Thanks for the quick response guys, now I will sleep better tonight knowing that I am not missing anything.

I bought mine today from Liquidation World; they had them on for $99 Canadian ($75 US). Model ZR765R

Thanks again folks,
