I have a 60 HP Johnson (1992) whith electric start and theres a spot on the flywheel that has 5 missing teeth....it don't work well when it gets to that spot. But the teeth on the starter still look fine.<br />Is it easy to replace the flywheel?<br />It looks like you just remove the nut and use a puller to remove the flywheel. Is that correct and will this screw up the timing or anything?<br />Thanks

Just change the flywheel, But anytime you touch anything that might effect the timming, I would put light on it and verify that timing is correct. Two strokes do take kindly to over advance timming.

Re: Flywheel replacement (is it easy) 60HP Johnson

Thanks alot, but I'm curious, is there any timing adjustments that can change from messing with the flywheel. I did'nt think so but there are some markings on the flywheel that kind of look like degree indicators. I'm ok with snowmobile 2-strokes but still pretty green with outboards.<br />Thanks for getting back to me.
