Rope sheave screws aside, I have found a few other issues that I am not sure how to fix. In particular, the flywheel is kind of stuck. When having somebody else lift the flywheel up and pounding the crankshaft(with the flywheel nut on part of the way) with a few very healthy smacks from a mallet, the flywheel did not come loose. Is there some other tip/trick that could help with this? I’ve had good luck with this for getting flywheels off until now. Also, The water pump does not seem to be functioning(when the driveshaft is turned with an electric drill at at least idling speed. I think that this could be due to grease getting on the piston from gear case overfilling? The one-way valve above the piston is working fine but I am having difficulty accessing the one that I imagine would be on the intake.
