    Well the flywheel will probably survive with some sanding.  With the flywheel upside down on the table….place a typical screwdriver against the magnets.  It should stick firmly.   A simple test of the magnets.

    I hope you did not use the Chinese coils.  Sometimes they are OK but I’ve found that they many times are weaker than the genuine OMC coils or CDI brand coils.  Takes a good yank of the rope to get them to fire strong.

    You certainly still have issues;  hard to diagnose remotely .  Have you looked at the crankcase seals?  Top and bottom?

    EDIT:  I just watched your video.  The wobble is pretty typical;  not your issue.  And I see those genuine OMC coils too…..the search goes on!  Those carburetor images that Jacques posted are important.  The idle circuit may be plugged;  you can revisit the carburetor at some point.
