cool. i am going to replace these either way, because it seems like it
is an easy way for me to have problems in the future if they arent
already shot. i assume that the easiest way to take the flywheel/
magneto off is to drive two long bolts into the threaded openings
adjacent to the crankshaft?

There is a puller tool that uses those holes, it's not terribly
expensive, but you could make something I suppose. I have a generic
puller that I use, but in the past I've used a piece of steel square
stock with a couple of holes drilled into it, rest that on the
crankshaft and put the bolts through it into the holes in the flywheel.

Just found out the engine does not have condenser or points according
the the illustrated parts catalog. so i guess that it is either low
voltage from the armature or bad timing. i'm going to check both of
these.
