The keyway is only there to force the pulley back onto the same 
orientation after removal.  This is so your timing marks don't get out 
of whack after you remove and replace the hub.  Finding an accurate TDC 
is not as easy as you might think, without direct perpendicular access 
to the piston crown.  The screwdriver down the sparkplug hole isn't real 
accurate.


The taper is what transfers the force from crank to hub...

KR> Interesting Crankshaft

2017-01-02 Thread Matt Quimby via KRnet
Hey all, I finally got the prop hub off my crankshaft. Noticed something 
interesting - there’s no keyway to align the prop hub. Is anyone else running a 
setup like that? Should that be a red flag, or a reason to consider just 
starting with a new crankshaft and prop hub?
