Coleman RT200 not running

The key that is left is too short. At one point it broke in half. They had one 5mm key that covered both sprockets, at least 30mm long.
I'd bet that Coleman sold a lot of those jackshafts. In your case the jackshaft (not the assembly) and a new 5mm key would get you going. The sprockets may be ok. The keyway on their 16mm jackshaft is what gets beat up.
But the next thing to go would be the bearings if you don't replace them during the repair.

If I may make a suggestion...
Before you order parts, look at Torque converter kits.
The repair that you need to do in order to fix your problem...the repair itself... could be more difficult than just installing a torque converter.
Your performance will be much better and you won't need to mess with that clutch anymore.

Yes. The key fits and everything, I went to put the new jackshaft (pictured) in the assembly and it went right in through the bearings and came out on the drivetrain side. But when I tried to fit the sprockets on the jackshaft they would not fit and it feels like it’s literally .5 mm worth that won’t allow it to slide on.
Maybe I was premature in deleting my post.
Looking at the Colemanpowersportsusa.com parts for an rb200 jackshaft. The picture shows a stepped jackshaft.

With the 6203 bearing it's stepping down from 17 to 16mm for the sprockets.
That was the problem from day one of the tall tire bike jackshafts. You couldn't find 16mm bore sprockets for an easy gearing change. Otherwise there would have been a ton of 14-16 tooth sprockets sold to replace the 20 on the jackshaft if it were 5/8".
I had the same problem with the ebay torque converter kits. First one comes with a 5/8" jackshaft which was great and made gearing changes easy. Second one came with a 16mm jackshaft. Where are you going to find a 16mm bore 9 tooth with a 5mm key or keyway? Did I stop searching too soon?
