no probs i will try anything to sort this thing out
as you say it had a aluminium key to begin with and i would be a bit lighter than the old victa flywheel key but i would have thought the aluminium key would be softer creating a weaker point
there is no damage to the crank only the flywheel and judgeing by the damage id say it probly happend once before aswell it is a fairly new modell trimmer and i recon its just had short hard life being trashed by a cractor or a big kick back from an edger blade atachment or something but apart from that it still has whopping crompreshion and the piston dosent have a single line on it inspecting through the exhust port... if i can get it right it might be a pretty good trimmer much better than el chepo homelites, ryobi ect.
