Is the woodruff key in place on the crankshaft arm? Check that. Is there a raised area on the crankshaft arm, that you have to align the flywheel on?

OK, I know what it is. The bolts that hold the fan onto the flywheel; they are too long, and are sticking out too far on the inside of the flywheel. I had that very issue before, and it hit me while I was half asleep that this is very likely your issue..
The solution: Take one of the bolts up to the hardware store, and either get a couple of washers that will fit in there good, or get some shorter bolts. I have bolts that are just long enough to fit flush with the inside of the flywheel. Take the fan and the flywheel off, and get some bolts that are just about flush with the inside of the flywheel, or just stick out a mm, or two.
I am pretty positive that this is the issue. Post back, and let us know. Good luck.

Also, make sure the bolts that hold the stator in there are snug.

Hey Steve, that makes perfect sense!! Everything was running fine until I buttoned everything up and put the fan back on along with everything else. Then it went to s***. Thank you so much I could have easily went through another three Stators before I figured that out. Considering they're the original screws and I didn't even think of them as being the culprit. But I did change the fly wheel and I'm sure that one must be about a millimeter thinner than the original. Again thanks so much! Adam

No problem. Glad we got it figured out! That happened to me when I put an 11 pole stator on a customer's scoot. Aggravated the fool out of me.
