How do you remove the flywheel on a 1965 Johnson 9.5 HP? I have done it on the bigger motors that you use a harmonic balancer puller but it does not look the same for these. Any help would be great.

I got gas and spark but it won't even think about starting. Is there something deeper i am missing? It is a 6 cylinder 1978 90 HP Mercury and has all ways run perfect. Any help would be great.
The motor runs ok but when i am done a whiteish gray oily stuff drips out of the water outlet. It kinda looks like the oil in a car when the head gasket goes. I figure it can't be good. The motor is a 1963 Johnson Sea Horse 40. Any info would be great.
