1988 125 HP Force Rebuild

Ha ha ( oops ) , I thought it was the po that had fitted the impeller.
As for the flywheel yeah ,I was going to suggest perhaps drilling an appropriate lookin sized hole but breakin a bit off would do too .
I have one of them hydraulic engine cranes for lifting stuff ,worth its weight in gold ,....I have even used it to pull out fence posts and my old hedge ....much to the amusement of the neighbours .
Its always good to finish a project like this when it leaps into life without drama and you zoom off over the water .

I am not the one who fitted the impeller that failed and as a result trashed my cylinder block. I fitted one after that dreadful day but the motor hasn't been run since then.

My good old fashioned cherry picker, aka tree branch and come along, worked great as it always does. Powerhead is now bolted into place on the motor leg and all the new parts I ordered have arrived. The weather this week in southern Michigan is supposed to be in the mid to upper 90's with heat index well above 100. So I will only be working on this project for a couple hours each morning. With any luck I will have it all done by the end of next week.
