71 6hp evinrude- running great but died and will not start again -tried new plugs and I'm still getting a white spark (no blue) -thinking condenser- I do not have a manual yet and I can't seem to get the flywheel off. I removed the top nut- is there something else I have to do to get in?

The standard preferred method is to use a puller. If you search this forum you'll find lots of information regarding pulling flywheels.

Sometimes if it isn't on there too tight, you can simply grab the flywheel and lift up while giving the end of the crankshaft a few solid hits with a hammer (just dont get too carried away beating on it). Loosen the nut but leave it on to protect the threads while using this technique.
