Pulling flywheel 1990 3hp

[Beakster]

There's a bit broken on my fly wheel? Does it matter? It's a little fun, doesn't seem to do anything.

Also what size of bolts do I need to pull the flywheel?

Thanks

Threads on those are usually 1/4-20NC-----Model # of this motor is ?

Doesn't the broken part mate with the recoil starter? Any standard wheel puller should work. That surely looks older than a 1990. I have 1940's motors that aren't that corroded.

It is NOT for the recoil.-----Perhaps used for old fashioned --" wrap a rope around it , and pull " method of starting.----Model # is?----Amy more pictures of this motor?

The issue I'm having why I want to remove the flywheel is that the engine starts and runs fine, but then sometimes after 5 mins it feels like one of the cylinders is cutting out for a few seconds at a time.

Would that most likely be a points and condenser problem?

Coils is my wildest guess.

Fouling spark plug, poor plug wire connection at coil or boot, dirty/pitted pointset (clean and reset both..), failing condenser etc. Good luck!

Heat and time. can do it.
I remember auto HV plug wire breaking inside while outside looked & felt great. Tough to pin point sometimes.
