1997 BF90 loose fly-wheel bolt

My BF90 started making a unusual noise and discovered the bolt on the fly-wheel was only hand tight and the keyway under the rotor would not fit snug in the slot. The fly-wheel had never been removed in the past ????

Has anyone had this problem. I ordered a new keyway and the dealer advised that I was the first to order this part, they stated that it would take 5-10 days and if back ordered it would have to come from Japan and could take months.

I believe the part number is 90704-ZW1-L00 (key, parallel (4.5x18) Honda code 6556278 price $3.46.
Model number of motor BF90A, serial number BBBL1001017

Had the carbs cleaned and the impeller changed several years ago by the dealer, I don't think they took the flywheel off, but who knows. LOL

Got the new one in today from the Honda dealer, sure looks better than the old one.
