It’s a split pin for sure. Looks like there’s a flange on the bottom of the cylinder but I wouldn’t be sure. It stops the piston coming out the bottom. The pin doesn’t come out the cylinder either.

I have a couple of questions for ye….
1. I attach a picture and am wondering what the split pin is for?

2. How to remove the Big End bearing. Picture attached as well.

I knew that before I started. I might refill those holes and see can I balance it some way.
I doubt it would have come off any other way. The starting ring was beginning to break apart when I tried that.

Got the flywheel off after a lot of drilling and grinding and heating. It shot off like a rocket when I hit it with a hammer. Flew about 2 feet. Luckily I wasn’t standing in front of it.

I bought a can of owatrol oil yesterday. Supposed to be good. I’ll try it and see.

I’ll see can I get the plus gas

I tried most of that. The starting ring started to break so I stopped before it disintegrated. Thinking now if I drilled two holes in the flywheel big enough for the pullers to go through to the back of the flywheel might do the job. I’m using wd40.

Hello again

Does anyone have any suggestions for removal of the flywheel from the 56. I have the nut removed.

Hello

Thanks for that Charlie. I need info on the engine in this model. Think mine may be seized as when I took off the head there was a small piece of what looked like a broken ring on top of the cylinder. Is it a Jap engine. Anyone selling or making the springs in the picture. Where can I get gaskets for the engine and body?

Regards

John
