JUSS10 250 #1 Posted July 18, 2010 ok so i am working on cleaning up the magneto on my K181 pullstart. i got the coil removed as that was held on with spring clips. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the magnet on the flywheel. it looks like its just a keyed unit that pulls off but i dont want to break something. i looked in the manual but couldn't find anything on it. its the round piece on the crank in this photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #2 Posted July 19, 2010 Lube it up and slide/pry off. Clean the crank first with emry paper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUSS10 250 #5 Posted July 21, 2010 yeah she fired right up on the first pull. haven't done any "endurance" runs where i work it hard but thats the easiest its ever started. Justin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #6 Posted July 21, 2010 Did you replace the cracked coil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUSS10 250 #7 Posted July 21, 2010 not yet. but its pretty bad. i can see the coil windings through the cracks. I found new ones for around $30 but they don't look right. i can't find any that are a perfect match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #8 Posted July 21, 2010 P/N 230075 is the coil you need. Here's the best help I (well, actually Bob Taylor) can offer: http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=6976 - a few posts down. Another option is to change everything from the bearing plate out over to the newer style mag. (like used on a B-60 Horse or a Troy Bilt tiller engine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
