Re: 1965 Big Twin LACK POWER HARD TO START

quote 1946Zephyr:

I bet that flywheel was fun to remove 😀

Actually that flywheel came off with a cheapie bolt puller fairly easy. The photo was a ’59 35 Lark that had been left in a garage since 1976 when the owner died, and yes the original points and condensers were there – I changed all of them. A 1961 40 Lark I’m working on now was a bear to get the flywheel off until I bought the OMC puller. With that and the air impact wrench on it, with only 50 pounds of air on the wrench it immediately got the flywheel loose – don’t know when it was last run, but the coils looked same as the photo of the 35.
