So I know that flywheels go bad. I just wanna make sure that it's a normal failure and not another problem. So when I got the motor some dumb..kid... left his starter half bolted in so when trying to start every other time it would skip and rip the flywheel... I fixed it. now after the translpant every now and then the motor when starting would turnover, pop, then with the ignition still in start, not move, then slowly build up speed to turing over, do it again, then turnover and start. This i later learned was "kickback" I believe, no clue what it is or what causes it... but it broke the housing on my starter and i hadda get a new one. Now everything was fine and dandy, despite the above problem. Just today however it makes the loud "OH MY GOD TURN THE KEY BACK BEFORE YOU REALLY SCREW IT UP" noise. doesn't turn, and cept when it does it turns really slowly even with a full battery, then does the kickback thing... and then it got stuck. the starter spun free, no turn. took it off. two perfectly flat teeth... rolll i tback to get it off those teeth, gets stuck in another spot... regardless i got a new fly wheel. I believe i gave you as many relevent facts as I could. Is there a problem I don't see? A question I haven't answered? or is it just a bad fly wheel long time in comin. Never had a bad fly wheel before so not sure how to diagnose.
It sounds like the timeing is off, or have you looked under the dist cap, it could be cracked and causing spark to jump to different cylinders.
It's at the fly wheel... I advanced it to 13 degrees with spout off... I initially thought it would cause that problem, but I heard of so many others doing it that i assumed it not to be the issue. But with the spout it it advances to like 24 or 30. I also was thinking that the computer wouldn't advance the timing until it was started... but oh well. take ya advice. go back to 10 or lower even?
