Better to be born lucky than rich. Returned home. Took off the front timing gear cover to discover the woodruff key for the crankshaft drive gear sitting on the sill.
How it got out is something I am studying. Right now I am minded to think that it has something to do with the lack of a lock washer on the starting nut. There is to me an ill fitting washer which does not look right.
Also, I would have thought the crankshaft gear would be flush with the crankshaft itself but it produces out by a quarter of an inch.
I have learned that the gears are in any event somewhat problematic and so I will try and replace all four plus keys.
