On my Corliss Twin build I used a taper-lock hub, using the design that Chuck Fellows had posted.....
More progress A fairly simple carburettor should allow to run at some fixed speed, the problem may be somewhere else. Have you rechecked the ignition timing? Possibly a little more advance may help. Have you rechecked the valve timing? If some other components have come loose maybe so has part of the valve system. What does the compression feel like, is it 'bouncy'? If you flick the flywheel round by hand does it bounce back from the compression.
Achim,The Enya 09 carburetor should work. Doug Kelley had good success with this carb, and I did also. I have tried a number of other carbs and found that the smaller they are the better they work on the Snow. I currently use a 3 mm throttle carb now with good results. When attempting to start your Snow make sure the carb throttle setting is near closed. Enough so that the intake air makes a slight hissing sound when cranking. Start with the carb needle valve near closed and slowly open a click at a time while cranking and you should quickly find the setting you need to start. Jeff

JeffJeff thank you so much for your suggestions. Very good to know that the same basic hardware configuration is working at other places.This will lead me to another direction I have been until now. Currently my needle is open by a 3/4 to 1 turn and it fires only if the throttle is nearly full open.I will try this more sensitive click by click method.
