Condition of your pulley? Similar to the one I replaced 3K miles ago.
Condition of your shaft? Well, let's just say it's worse than mine (was).
Rx? -- New pulley and a liberal dose of an anaerobic retaining compound. I used Loctite 660. https://tds.us.henkel.com//NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/6D9EC2FC4F2B577088257187000...
You have nothing to lose (Except that you'll have to heat the Loctite and use a pulley extractor if you ever have to remove the pulley.) Sure beats splitting the engine case and replacing the output shaft.

Well, I must say I've seen better looking shafts than that... best of luck to you! Grin

(sorry, couldn't resist)

But seriously, what do you do next?

Babyhog, evidently I didn't offend you with my earlier post, and I'm very glad of that!! Thanks for having a good sense of humor!

Seriously, I'm hoping that there is enough of the spline on the shaft to work with a new/used pulley. If not, I might get the splines built up with a welder, but I really REALLY hope I don't have to do that.

That doesn't sound much fun at all. I hope the new/used one works for you. I know so little, but it looks pretty serious to me, so I'm sending my best wishes... Be sure to keep us posted... although, I have avoided saying this... you haven't been around much... that is UNTIL you have a big problem. haha (Of course you know I'm teasing, right)

And offend me?? HAHA Tough to do, 'specially since I started it! Wink

I was glad I didn't offend you!

I do lurk around here a good bit, and when I see a newbie with a problem I can help solve I try to do so. I keep up enough that I know you're planning to hide in the bushes at Deals Gap!! Grin

Well, believe it or not, the salvage pulley I bought went on the shaft very snugly, and I'm riding again because I put everything back together last night. I'm gonna keep a close eye on it, but I think it's good for a lotta miles and smiles. Wink

Seven day forecast for the Tupelo area you used to live in is above 70 every night, and 95-98 every day with a 20% chance of rain. In other words, the old summer pattern of weather. Wait! I see a cloud. I'm going to go stand under it and hope the rain comes before the lightning.

Hey, I forgot that you live in one of my old stomping grounds!! That was B.S. - Before Savage. I bet it's hot down there!!!!!! Why don't you come on up to the Dragon week in the mountains? Should be a little bit cooler.
