On a few small stubborn flywheels I have had luck leaving the puller on with tension and leaving it. Apply all oils and ointments as usual, never had to resort to heat (yet) but you could apply it here too. Doing this i have come back a few days later and the wheel had pooped. One time I was in the shop and it ave me a little startle not expecting the pop in the quiet…..kind of like when the compressor starts up out of the blue.
As others have mentioned leave the flywheel nut on the top of the crank to prevent damage from the puller.
Good luck. I will look today but may have some of those carb parts I could send you.
Shoot me a pm if interested.
