Re: Flywheel

Well it became hard to start all of the sudden. It ran good prior to the long time of no use. I had attempted to remove the flywheel a couple of days ago. As I did this I removed the 6 little bolts on top and unknowingly moved the flywheel and then noticed that the bottom of the stator moved independently of the flywheel immediately put it back and #1 piston lines up with flywheel. So I am thinking the flywheel was replaced in 1997 by previous owner. It is hard for me to do the sync and link as described in manual. Any tips to do it properly from the start would be appreciated.<br /> Ernie.
