Re: Engine quit suddenly after running perfectly.
You say flywheel key is fine but can't check if from work. Have you visually inspected it yet? Do you have a OEM manual or are you just shooting from the hip? An OEM manual will help you find out step by step what to check. It will also give you tips that will help you bypass things that need not be checked. It is a very worthwhile investment. It seems like people are trying to help but you provide vague answers. examples being, how do you check spark without being zapped but you say spark is fine, how do you check for spark with a timing light when it will not spark. The timing light will show spark even if the engine is not running. The last example is Upinsmoke asking again for an answer that was not given regarding your compression. I am not trying to flame you in any way shape or form but you need to try the things that these experts (include me out) are trying to get answers for so they know where to look next to get your problem solved. I know that the "regulars" will keep following this post to help you but you have to do your best to give them the information that they need to make an educated guess.
