Re: Johnson 1957 18hp Flywheel Problems

My eyes are failing me a little but do I see the nut still on the crankshaft? Be very careful not to screw the bolts into the flywheel very deep, you will damage the magneto. Tighten the center big bolt very tight, then hit the center bolt to loosen the grip on the flywheel & retighten the big bolt
again. It should come off after a few smack & tighten cycles.
