Mower want run

[40vern]

I have a craftsman 16 HP. 917.27535

I replaced regulator. Then drove mower. It ran good then started running rough.
I did have trouble with installing the fly wheel How do you know if the flywheel is tight enough?
I thing I could have damaged the key in the flywheel

Thanks in advance for your help. If you need more info. Let me know

The Coil gap correct? if you damaged the key wouldnt it not run at all?

Have you cleaned the carb tank and lines. and let us know what engine is on it (ie) engine number & type.

Thank for your help

I rebuilt the carb last month

It ran fine yesterday but it started running really bad. I did not have the flywheel to tight.

What is the best was to tighten the flywheel?

I will get the engine number in a little while and post it.

Thanks. It said to tighten to 150 pounds. I did not get close

The engine model # is 283h07

Thanks everyone. The diagram especially was a big help too. What I did wrong was using the impact wrench to install the flywheel. When I did this I broke the key.
Thanks again.
