Re: sea king 1.5 flywheel removal question

[PM T2]

I know some people do it, and yeah it makes it "easier" on a person, but to me its a lazy way to try and start a motor that obviously needs work.

If you need an electric drill or impact tool (I’ve seen them used, makes me cringe just thinking aboot it) to start a motor, you haven’t fixed whatever was wrong with it.

The OEM’s didn’t furnish electric or cordless drills with the motors in order to start them. The ones that did have electric start apply the force on the outer rim of the flywheel, not the flywheel nut.

If the flywheel nut shouldn’t be used to remove the flywheel, I don’t think it oughta be used to start the motor either. But that’s just me and my tiny little rowboat motor-tinted mind………
