OK, admittedly I’ve had little 9.5hp experience. But, do you really have to remove the flywheel to get the carb off? Perhaps. But, let’s back up a bit. Did you remove the hex drain screw from the bottom of the carb to ensure fuel is flowing into it? Did you remove the high speed jet and check it? Again, you do need the special tool/screwdriver to remove that fixed jet without damaging it. Did you try priming the engine by dumping a little fuel mix down the carb throat to see if it fired briefly?
I hate to see you rip into flywheel removal/ignition stuff needlessly. And yes, those darn screws can be a nightmare, usually a hammer/impact screwdriver is your best bet.
Hopefully someone will chime in about the carb removal… Nonetheless, no need to remove the carb until you have checked fuel flow and pulled out that high speed jet, these operations can be performed with the carb in place…
