blandsx81 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I got this 2hp yamaha outboard to get running. its been in storage for 15 years and the only problem is that has no spark. I have put a new spark plug in no luck I have checked the very few wires for signs or corrosion. still no spark so I then tried to remove the flywheel to get to the points and coil but its seized on. I have tried soaking it in crc and tried to remove it with a pulley graber even tried heating the flywheel slightly but i still cant remove it. so basically Im asking for any help on how to get this thing running or where i can find infomation on it and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get the flywheel off. many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 pics? no access hole in the fly wheel for the points? probably need a proper flywheel puller to remove it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandsx81 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ill put some pics up soon. yea there is two access holes in the flywheel. where would i get one one these flywheel pullers? also if the point gap was to big could that kill the spark?

RUNAMUCK Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 If the points have corrosion you can get no spark. a quick sand up usually fixes that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 yeh is prob points. wack a nut on end of crankshaft thread and strike with hammer. be careful not to mushroom the thread(can be fixed tho so no biggy). Get a bigger nut if the one you have is quite small. Factory knock off tool is just a realy long nut. works er time. shock breaks the taper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 you can also tap around the fly wheel with a rubber mallet and pry with a screw driver(fucking carefully). I don't recommend that on alloy.... u will prob break it but it works good on cast iron flywheels. I've done it on alloy flywheels but you have to be very careful edit: but yeh don't try too hard and break shit. If you cant do it, Take it to boat or lawnmower shop and they will have flywheel puller. You don't want to use regular style puller that pulls from the edge of flywheel or you will break it. Everytime you have a go, spray more penetrating oil on it and have another go the next day. Don't get too rough(I've broken a couple flywheels due to impatience/rage).
