The flywheel in an engine stores the energy given to it by the moving pistons and smooths the rotation. In single cylinder engines the power stroke of the piston would cease immediately if it were not for the flywheel continuing the exhaust stroke to rid the cylinder of the spent gases.

What functions does the flywheel have on the 3.5 hp Briggs and stratton engine?

Pulling the engine's start cord turns the flywheel. The flywheel has a magnet or magnets on it that create electrical charge as the flywheel turns, causing them to pass other magnets. The electrical charge travels to the spark plug and starts the engine. Once the engine is running, the inertia created by the flywheel's turning has enough momentum to keep the engine's crankshaft turning between the piston's power strokes. During operation, the flywheel's magnets also induce voltage in the armature to keep the spark plug firing. Those magnets are called a Magneto ignition.
