Re: Johnson Flywheel with a stripped puller hole

[Buccaneer]

Thanks for the replies. Jerry, are you saying the "ratchet" that the
starter pawls engage in, is hardened metal, or the flywheel?
I can’t remember what size drill bit is required to install a 1/4"
heli-coil. Not sure if one can drill out the old threads in a 1/4"
bolt hole, and still have enough "meat" to tap for 5/16′.
Will look tomorrow and decide the best way to go.

Prepare to be boarded!
