I knew right away what happened because it had happened to me before. But my bolt came out of the exhaust stuck to the fly wheel and wedged between the coil and fly wheel. It was like a freak accident but it happened. Not sure how to add a picture but I have a picture of it.
Having the same issue. Big headache. I adjusted the valves, I installed a new spark plug, new carburetor, new air filters, new fuel filters, new ignition coil, still doesn’t start. Only started once or twice for 10 seconds each time: what do you think it is ?
I've seen that key get sheared off before when a customer forgot to properly tighten the flywheel bolt and tried to start the engine. One good pull is all it takes if it is loose and suddenly your ignition timing is so far off it will never run.
Seems odd to me with the way you went through your diagnostic. Going straight to the Cam really seems like a huge waste of time. Why not check for spark first, then compression test, look at the spark arrestor to make sure it's not clogged, follow up with some Carburetor cleaner ( NOT BRAKE CLEANER ) for one brake cleaner will wash down the cylinder of any oil residue, along with brake cleaner will ruin a lot of Orings , primer bulbs and the list goes on. Stay away from brake cleaner on all small engine equipment. Then I would have gone to the valves to see if it needed adjustment, followed up with the fly wheel. Im sure you have your own method of madness however seems like you started backwards. The easy stuff first is way faster. and knocks out a laundry list of potential issues fast. Anyway, great video to show the end result of the problem.
Bro never use a feeler gauge on a overhead valve on a Stihl blower still makes a tool specifically made for the valves i highly recommend u buy the tool..... sincerely RIGO SMALL ENGINE REPAIR

How did you remove the flywheel key??

Hey vato my blower sounds like it wants to run but doesn't
If I keep cranking it it sounds like it's running does that mean it's done?
You just cut a regular feeler gauge with a pair of tin snips and it works perfectly fine
It is a dry sump crank case
