With the flywheel nut removed, a flywheel puller can be attached
to separate it from its’ press fit to the crankshaft. Align the center
bolt of the puller with the indent in the end of the crankshaft, and
thread at least two carrier bolts through the puller and into the
flywheel. Make sure that at least several threads are utilized in
attaching the carrier bolts, as they will bear the load of pulling the
flywheel loose. Damage to these threads will require replacing the
flywheel itself. With the puller properly attached to the flywheel,
use the T-handle to turn the center pivot point until the flywheel
comes loose from the crankshaft.
Remove the flywheel (refer to page 11 for disassembly
procedure), and inspect the integrity of the flywheel keyway, the
crankshaft keyway and the key itself. Any deformation of the key
or keyway will require replacement of those components.
After identifying the integrity of the coil (refer to page 8 for coil
testing procedure), or replacing it with a new one, check the air
gap between the coil and flywheel (A).
Gap should be measured with a feeler gauge and set at 0.014”.
