Updated TDC movement, turning c/clockwise.. It looks even closer to your pic now.

OOOPS! That is opposite looking at f/wheel side...DUH! But still good, spinning motor is clockwise direction on the other side.

Pulls up on left side...

Thx fish. Not to argue, but wheel only goes on one way & can't be adjusted as you know. When I put new one on it slid on without any side-side movement. After checking fitment, used Loctite 603 & let it set for days to dry. I find it hard to believe it moved, if you know what I mean. I Loctite'd...

"S", did you ever figure out what went wrong? I have the same problem and it's still ongoing. Replaced coil, carb, fuel lines & filter & flywheel. Contacted "T" & he was nice enough to give some tips. Flywheel key was sheared off. With new wheel, same problem. Fuel tank is pressurizing. I'll get...

Thx.

Thx fish, looking at flywheel area chapter now. Time to thaw dinner. Will pick-up in morning.

Yes Bert, I understand your position. I think like you do. (Don't waste my time with brain-dead idiots!) I still have your printed-out post with instructions here on my desk. Not to discount your info & helpfulness, but have had & still have duties around here as a rural home owner. In this...

"Martepm's magnets are at lease 5 deg out of time if his engine was actually at TDC when he took the photo." Yes Bert, had a "marked nail" in cylinder while moving piston up/down & took the pic when movement was centered between both movements. Precisely done I will add with eyesight, no...

Fish, thanks for pic's. Without specialized micrometers & such tools, measuring down to .01" on outside flywheel dia movement seems to be not that important. Am I wrong on this point? Is it that critical? Again, I submit TDC as close as I can get it without high tech measuring tool. It may be...

Gentleman, to eliminate further questions about rotation, I submit this pic. Starter rope pulls from left side & motor turns clockwise. I feel some of you haven't read my 1st post thoroughly. Would it be possible to eliminate this rotation issue & move on? Thx again for all the input.

This is TDC as precisely as I can make it.. Thx.

Thx. That was all done/coverd in 1st post. Not a hint of any attempt to start.

Yeah, I know there's more than 12 lb on it. Thx

Thanks guy's. The flywheel does indeed turn clockwise. That was checked after spinning motor with drill & noticing fuel mist from exhaust after pouring fuel in cylinder & replacing spark plug. "How can that much fuel expel & not fire-up? Am I spinning in the correct direction?" That's when I...

Just for grins went to check TDC more carefully & compare old flywheel to new. Old one clearly has thinner magnets. At TDC the coil is on 2nd magnet as it rotates clockwise.

This is the coil I got; ENGINERUN Ignition Module Coil Compatible with Stihl FS46 FC55 FS45, HL45 HS45 String Trimmer Parts OEM 4140 400 1308 and flywheel; NEW OEM STIHL FLYWHEEL FC55 FS38 FS45 FS46 FS55 FS55R HL45 KM55 KM55R MM55 MM55C and carb...

Nicely done Bert. Appriciated. Exactly what I was hoping to find here. I printed your instructions for the work bench & will go thru them one by one. I too had suspicions about the replacement flywheel but found myself trying to convince my myself that couldn't be the problem. This has become a...

Yup, been there, done that as mentioned in original post. With all due respect in helping....way past that point in t/shooting. A far reaching & more deeper issue is at hand. So you might understand, read about 8-14 hr's of post's on this subject from multiple sites. I'm far beyond the "normal"...

Flywheel key shearing was addressed & found at fault. Flywheel replaced.

Thanks Rivets, just learning about that now. Is there some test to determine their integrity? Haven't gotten that far yet.

Howdy all. Been looking for insight on above issue for a long time & on numerous sites....to no avail. There is a hidden problem somewhere here I'm missing. Seen some scholars respond here so thought to make one more attempt to request some input to figure out what I am missing. This is a...
