When removing the flywheel it may pop but not leave the motor. Tighten up the three smaller bolts EVEN but not into the coil under the flywheel. Tighten the center “remover” bolt until very tight, then tap on the puller bolt to loosen, repeat. Never go too tight as to pull the threads out of the flywheel. It will come out..
Mumbles?
Does this model have two grounding wires on the coil? I think not but not sure. Clean the magneto very well, some greases conduct energy robbing the coils of power.
Be very careful with this motor, many aluminum threads that strip easy.
