Oh yeah! I been having nothing but flywheel and starter trouble for years now!
Between the extreme base timing and the incorrect flywheel tooth count, and lately "bumping" the starter as well, I don't know how I've managed.

By golly, I think I may have got to the bottom of it this time. It's a Hays 12-240, 40 lb wheel and sure enough, they specifiy a 184 count. Well it CAME with a 152 tooth count originally and it worked, mostly, kind of, so I just followed the previous owner's lead on that. Until I finally burned out on replacing starters, which I got so good at I could change one out in nothing flat...

The move? Looks like Ashland/Medford, Oregon area. I'll be North Calif for a bit though, staying with a friend, HQ, looking for a house, that sort of thing.
