500 magnum won't start

UGGH!! Flywheel key. What makes me so mad is that it did this two years ago. I can't remember why I found it so quickly then. I think I was looking at the stator and noticed the keyways didn't line up. I never thought it would shear again so quickly so I never even looked. The good news is my carb has never been cleaner I got new plugs and adjusted the valves. Thanks OPT for the mental kick in the butt!!

It's running again, as good as ever except for one thing. It is smoking from where the first section of exhaust pipe joins the second. This is about 6 inches from the exhaust manifold. I thought I spilled oil on it or forgot to tighten the cam cover but that is not the case. It is not smoking form the tailpipe just at this joint. It smells like oil. Any ideas? It's not that big of a deal I'll just park farther away from my deer stand, or maybe park at my buddy's stand.

Just get a new exhaust seal and drive the snot out of it for awhile!! May clear up like some I've got a hold of before that actually stopped smoking! Plus since it had been sitting up valve guide seals can get a little dry plus may take a little driving around to stop it. PLUS I FORGOT,check your oil tank to see if it may have a little gas smell to it or the level is a little high! May have something to do with the smoking if it does! OPT
