Thanks to all. Yes! It was just a wopped flywheel! I found another one “out back” and switched out the steel rings and all is well! I looked closely at the old one and a couple of the bolts holding the ring gear on show signs of being hammered on. I further checked the crankshaft by rope starting sans the recoil and it’s fine. And she’s a runner now. Going to drive it around Lake Talquin on the 19th and 20th!
And just so y’all know, this motor was given to me as a “parts motor” because the two hose to one hose conversion had failed, was left outside in frustration and had become “stuck”.
The fuel supply conversion had failed because the plug in the Reed plate hadn’t held. I put it back to the way it was meant to be.
And a couple taps widda persuader unstuck it and a two or three finger hone fixed the sticky spot.
Love it!
