Problem: Pics show the flywheel I am attempting to pull from my donor motor. Is this the correct flywheel for my RD19? The reason I ask is that there are three small holes (approx 1/8") that are used to mount the "spline" mounted on the top of the flywheel (shown above). Those holes are the only ones in the flywheel and are less than half the diameter of the bolts on my puller, which says to me that I should drill new holes in the flywheel and tap them before I try to pull the flywheel.
Need some guidance here please! This does not appear to me to be a good way to try to pull the flywheel. Perhaps the donor motor (which is NOT an electric start motor) has another flywheel mounted that is improper for RD19? Thanks!
