After fighting for three day the fly wheel came loose today. I had to re-tap the hole to 3/8 and get some grade 8 bolts apply a lot of pressure and PB oil. Finally with some heat and the 3 pound hammer it came loose....put the new stator on and after get the wire hooked up right the ole force 125 cranked right up.
Thank you everyone for all your help.

Cheers and enjoy! Now you're not only a better mechanic but probably a better boater too! For the more you learn how your unit works, the better you will operate and take care of them! Well, for me anyways.

I can empathize. ... Let the joy of knowing that job is behind you wash over you for a day or two.
