Ford YT16 Flywheel

[Psychoframer]

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to put this post or not, but I have an old Ford YT16 with a 656 B&S engine. I have faith that she will run, but she needs a good cleaning. She's not creating any spark, so a friend thinks it might be the condensor? I'd like to take the flywheel off so I can really clean it by putting it in an electrolysis bath, but I've never taken one off. I just don't want to bang on the thing until I break it so i was wondering if anyone might have some helpful advice on how I might be able to get it off there without breaking something else?

Thanks,

Tom
