Single cylinder, magneto lever throttle advance, integrated fuel tank, single cylinder direct drive.

Is this made by OMC? no 3 holes for flywheel puller (like all the JohnnyRudes I've seen).. how do I get the flywheel off?
thanks..

I think Gale was acquired by OMC in the mid thirties. I would try carefully prying on opposite sides of the flywheel to remove it while striking the other underside with a mallet. If you get too aggressive, you can bend the crank or the flywheel, so be careful.

Popped right off! It's got the guillotine points and coil of a TD series of the day, so I'm familiar w/it. The coil isn't leaking, so that's nice.
Thanks wilde!

Mod got carried away, not realizing Gale was an OMC brand! Glad it popped right off.
