Fly wheel torque is 480-560 in. lbs. Bore and shaft clean and dry.
Be sure key,and key ways are in good shape.

Thank's Steelespike for the info on torque, is the woodriff key a Johnson only part, or will a good quality motor shaft key shaft work?

I would try a J/E dealer, and if no luck, grind a standard woodruff key to fit. With the correct torque, any key that fits, will work
