1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

[w2much]

I have included some pictures I hope which will help to clarify my lack of proper linguistics. Aparently the po glued this magnet without success. I am hoping to correct the problem. I know to clean the both surfaces removing all existing adhesives and coating. I have been ill for quite a while and both body and brain need some rehab , as does this flywheel. I do not remember the placement of the magnet and can not tell by trying to match old adhesive marks . Magnets being magnets one position attracts and the other position rejects. I can find the location on the circumference where to place the magnet but it can easily be upside down changing its pole one side to the other. Photo 1, should I just slide the magnet around to its placement on the flywheel circumference keeping the top up as it is in the photo ? Or should the magnet be flipped over as in photo #2 which reverses the poles. I appreciate your replies.

Straight across from each other. Should be able to see the shadow line

Is there an upside down ? if so does it reverse the poles ? I have the placement on the circumference marked . Thank you..

 

[flyingscott]

pretty sure they go north to south

To be quite frank I have no idea what is north and what is south on the magnets. I hate to be impulsive (like I tend to be) and just place them with epoxy and then suffer the extreme anguish of breaking it to remove and reverse it. I'll remove the old adhesive , that will keep me occupied, until I feel that feeling of confidence in a permanent placement. I hate to move forward on a cliff.

In the first picture would I just slide itto the left and affix it in previously marked position ? Or in picture two would I lift it , place it as shown across from where it is in its previously marked placement ?

Thank you or the reference . I hope to get it done with confidence today.

I am not sure, but, I seem to remember the magnets have a beveled edge that goes down when installing.
