    Briggs and stratton 8hp ser#190492
    Good morning: Trying to take off fly wheel to get to points. I have taken them off before, but not on this engine. I've used a puller with 1/4 in bolts, tap with a hammer while doing this, but nothing is moving. I've even used a little heat on the cast. Use oil, drilled the pin out, nothing!! Who ever put this on, must have used a big impact wrench. My guestion is, just how far should I go with this, and if anyone has a answer what to do next. :confused:

    Thanks

    Be cautious with the hammer, you can cause severe damage. Briggs makes a special tool for pulling the flywheel. You may want to carry it to a shop.

    Thanks: Might have to do that. I haven't gave up yet, but close. No I haven't broke out the sledge hammer ( he he ) just can't understand that it is that tight.
    Also, what if I change it over to solid state ignition, and just leave the fly wheel alone??
    Thanks again
