Sheared a second flywheel key on my Tecumseh HS50

I'm continuing my quest in a new thread now that I have a more specific question. Old thread is http://www.abbysguide.com/ope/discussions/19249-0-1.html

I got a new flywheel key as the old turned out to be broken. The new one broke after about three pulls and one ignition...

The new key looks like a dud though. The sheared surface looks dimpled as if the metal had bubbles in it. The old one looked solid and the sheared surface is smooth.

Could I have been so unlucky that I got a bad new key or is a second broken key a sign on some other problem? If I remove the spark plug and turn the flywheel, it seems to run smooth.
