Re: I have a couple questions on an Evinrude Speeditwin

Your compression is more than strong enough to run well.

Take the rope sheave off and use a conventional puller to remove the flywheel (after the flywheel nut is off).

Jay Walls pointed out to me last spring that these things loved to be heavily primed prior to attempted starting. Too much priming is almost never enough. I was pumping the primer button 6-8 times and got it so it would fire up easily enough. Using the rope to bounce it back & forth between compression then timing your pull just right makes it a tad easier to rope it through compression.

Hope this helps.
