Yes, on the crankshaft there should be a "slot" called a keyway, and a matching slot on the flywheel, mate a key in the slot of the flywheel and crankshaft, and then your flywheel should be timed, also on a magneto ignition system, makesure the magneto has the proper gap, called "armature air gap" usualy if you put a buossness card in there is a good starting point
Replacing engine and need information.
To change the flywheel or flexplate you'll need to remove the engine, transaxle or both. The flywheel or flexplate is between the engine and transaxle and is easily changed once you have clear access to the space between them.
No, you need to drop the trans though.
This can be caused by a worn flywheel, or a bad starter drive. You'll need to remove the starter and look at the flywheel to see which is bad.
As with any flywheel, bearings are so tight that they are pressed in, you will need to use a puller to remove the bearing from the flywheel in order not to damage it.
I changed the flywheel on my bothers 1982 Cadillac and you have to take the whole engine out and its in the back and you do what you need to do. You have to unhook everything cherry pick the engine and fix it. Pretty simple sorry not much to say. -Trish
Sorry, but if you need to ask that's not work that you need to be doing your self. Changing a flywheel in ANY car is a very involved process. Not to say you couldn't but i wouldn't recommend it. It involves pulling the engine and transmission and separating the two just to get to the flywheel.
With considerable difficulty. You need to split the engine from the gearbox and remove the clutch to get to it. This'll mean getting the engine out of the car.
Yes, pull the trans and remove the flywheel to access.Yes, pull the trans and remove the flywheel to access.
yes you can all you need to do is switch the automatic flywheel and putt on a standard flywheel and make sure the clutch from the transmission will bolt up to the flywheel.
It can mean that this engine is out of time. You may need to have it timed.
You will need to pull either the transmission or the engine. The flywheel is attached to the back of the engine, to the output side of the crankshaft. If it is a manual transmission, you will need to align the clutch to the pilot bearing before you tighten the pressure-plate.
