So this is a 1960 or 61 or 62 scott mcchollah (sp)
The cam key and flywheel was cracked, and I'm looking for a new flywheel. eBay currently has some that look like mine but from 1956 elgins or firestorms.

Are these interchangeable? Anyone have a source where I could pick up a flywheel for the motor?

A 1956 Elgin flywheel will not fit on your motor as McCulloch did not make the elgins until about 1959. A firestone flywheel might fit it. There is a a section in the FAQs that has a list of outboard salvage yds. I believe the 7.5,10,12 and 14 hp motors used the same flywheel. You cannot use the flywheel off of a 59 and later 7.5 low profile motor. The Aomci website has free ads somebody there can help you find one.
