I think the bigger question is:

How did you get part of the crank apart with the engine together? It should be tightly pressed together. If it was lose that's not going to be a good thing.

I am sure there is a good story behind this. Would love to hear it.

Well you see there was something wrong with the engine and I may have found the problem. When I work on replacing the orings and crankseals ill have to see whats up.

Yes...the crank pin should be pressed into the flyweight. I doubt a crank shop can do much with that. Besides a good used crank might be cheaper.

It's a boat anchor now.

Find a good used one and rebuild her.

The sled is not an anchor, just the crank.
