I have a poulan riding mower that wont start, it ran fine, i shut it off, & now it wont fire. Not even with starting fluid. It cranks over, has spark & fuel, the valves are adjusted but i noticed when adjusting the valves that the magnet on the flywheel didnt line up with the module until well after top dead center, like 30 some odd degrees past. General internet wisdom points to sheared flywheel key.
Now is where i get confused, when i pulled the blower off & removed the bolt, the key appears to be in place & maybe intact. I dont have a tool to remove the flywheel so i cant say for sure. Does it sound like im on the right path?
