Husqvarna 150BT blower.
Friend said it was running rough and then could not pull to start.
Inspected cylinder, remove spark plug, etc.
-Blower housing taken off and see the flywheel rubbing against the coil.
-Flywheel lopsided, flywheel key slight imperfection but not sheared.
-Put new flywheel in and reinstalled, pull started with no plug perfect with business card gap.
-Buttoned everything up and went to pull start it---caught again on flywheel with third pull of cord.
-Took off everything to find flywheel lopsided again.
Friend said he did not hit anything and did not drop it. He bought it a few years ago and used with no issues.
Two questions
1. Anyone ever experienced something like this before and know why? (I am thinking it is too much "slop" in keyway in flywheel and need a new flywheel, but I have never experienced that in 13 years of my amateur repair work.
2. I need to get a flywheel remover tool, I bought the small Briggs' puller but it is too small. I know there is a medium and a large size but unsure which one of those would I need to pull this flywheel again. The small engine shop already zipped it off the first time for me free of charge after I ordered the small puller...ugh.
***The crankshaft nut is upside down I know because I thought I would be able to rig piece of metal in the shed to act as a flywheel puller...but I was wrong again.***
