Power Distributors 5002K Flywheel Key 3 Pack

Product Description

The POWER DISTRIBUTORS 5002K is a flywheel key sold in a 3-pack, designed as an OEM-style replacement component for small engine maintenance. The flywheel key is a small but critical part that indexes the flywheel to the crankshaft, ensuring correct ignition timing on air-cooled small engines. A sheared or worn flywheel key causes timing displacement that leads to hard starting, misfires, or engine damage. This 3-pack is stocked by small engine technicians, outdoor power equipment dealers, and repair shops that service Briggs and Stratton-powered equipment on a regular basis.

This flywheel key is intended for use in small engine repair and maintenance on Briggs and Stratton equipment. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 490179. Typical applications include lawn mowers, riding tractors, generators, pressure washers, and other outdoor power equipment running Briggs and Stratton engines. The 3-pack format suits service shops that replace flywheel keys as a routine part of engine diagnosis and repair after blade strike events or ignition timing faults.

Installation Notes

Flywheel key replacement is a standard small engine repair performed by small engine technicians and outdoor power equipment service pros. Before service, disconnect the spark plug wire and drain or isolate the fuel supply. Remove the flywheel using the appropriate flywheel puller — never strike the crankshaft directly. Inspect the crankshaft keyway for damage before seating the new key, and verify ignition timing after reassembly.
