What is a good material to craft a woodruff key for the drive sprocket on a 66cc skyhawk engine? The original woodruff key along with a spare one from a spare flying horse engine both broke while riding and the sprocket would then come off the crankshaft. I then cut off the end of the largest pin punch I had and used that to form a woodruff key, now I'm not entirely sure what kind of metal the pin punch was made of nor am i sure or not if it will be strong enough to hold up to the engine. Granted however when I installed the last woodruff key i made myself i had to tap the drive sporcket on with a hammer it was so snug, I only had to slide on the first woodruff key i replaced. I can ride my bike again but after the last 2 incidents I am not confident to take the bike outside my neighborhood. so yes to reiterate what my question is what would be a good material to use for making a woodruff key? I want to be confident with my bike again. Thank you
