Folks, first post but not even close to a forum new guy

Mower just stopped while using it and pull start wouldn't move
Checked everything and all is good.
So I sent it off to a shop and he doesn't get into these kind of problems but he cut the belt drive and it runs now anyway.
I had figured by this time that it is in the clutch mechanism and have it apart.
My question. :
My crank on my engine has 2 key way slots and when I took it apart i only see one and the Honda nation blow up only shows one.
Is there suppose to be 2??

I am sure I will have new questions

Went back out and looked it over and tried fitting again.
So all I need is 1 Key.
I put it back together (pics).
And everything looks and feels correct the pulley on the trans spins OK and so I think I just need a new belt.
As a new person I don't know the experts on the forum and am asking for assistance in anything I should change as I got it this far?




Appreciate all responses

All back together and running great.
Have a feeling the guy just didn't want to mess with it.
Actually it was pretty dang simple

Love that you fixed it yourself. I think you did not get any responces because you where doing so well for yourself. Love all the pictures. Next time include your mowers model number. Most of the helping people on here like a complete picture of what is being worked on.

OK, been 4+ years and I'm thinking I have clutch problems again.
Was mowing for about 40 feet and it died with a full tank.
Won't restart as is.If I lift up the front and spin the blades a little it will fire right up.As soon as I engage the clutch dead.
Any feed back appreciated

Just wondering aloud here. Could it be its stalling because of clutch friction caused by too close tolerances, ie not enough slack in the cable, or too much depending on how the mechanism is designed? Perhaps its dragging slightly, heating up eventually causing the engine to stall and will start again once cooled. Have you ever checked the cables for recommended settings. They do stretch over time. Settings are found in the owners manual. Like I said, just wondering aloud as I've never encountered that problem so I have no experience with it.

Think it's time to rebuild the belt and other parts as I did back then
Can someone either link me to the parts that should be changed or list them?
