I have an old Miller Wasp welder with a Kohler single cylinder engine. It
came into my possession because the owner used an pneumatic impact wrench
to attach the crankshaft nut that secured the flywheel taper. Well, it
snapped off the end of the crankshaft leaving no threads to secure it. I
looked at it and figured out that there was enough of a stub protruding
past the flywheel to allow me to mill the end of the crankshaft flat and
drill and tap the end of the crankshaft, which I did. I then used valve
lapping compound on the intersection, and without the key in place, lapped
the flywheel in to the crankshaft to insure a perfect fitting taper. Then I
cleaned up the lapping compound, inserted the key and installed the
flywheel. I then used a grade 8 Allen bolt and a thick washer that fit the
milled flange on the flywheel. I carefully torqued it into place with blue
loctite and it is still holding today.
So, my recommendation to you would be to lap that used flywheel into
your crankshaft before you torque that crank nut. And use hand tools. No
pneumatic wrenches on cast crankshaft, ever.
