have this toy, appears to be counter rotating engine, only about 10 hours on it, last ran in salt water, so i figure the points a corroded. any ideas on getting fly wheel off.

My manual covers a 2.5 no specific info on model but it says points are adjustable through the flywheel.Uses Champion RL87YC at .040. points set to .012 to.016.Timing is fixed adjusted with point gap.No specific info on flywheel removal.If not too corroded you could have someone hold it up by the flywheel while you give it a good whack on the crank.Of course use a brass hammer and leave the nut on loose to protect the threads.Only 30ft lbs torque on nut so it shouldn't be too tight.

boy, nuts on tight. no corrosion, i've got a catapiller strap wrench coming so maybe i can get the nut loose. mine has no access thru the flywheel. thanks.
