Ive had a husky (2000 husqvarna sm610) for a few years now but 2 years something went wrong and it just sat in the garage. So this year I decided to have a crack at fixing it. I've established that the oil leak is from the generator side. I've removed the outer casing and I have the flywheel puller from husky, but'!! How do you stop the flywheel from turning I've tried a few ways but I just can't get it to stop? Any ideas please Lastly, the relay at the front any idea where to get one from? I've tried ebay but no joy, are they generic?
Some people take off the clutch side cover and jam the gears with a rag. What I done was held the flywheel with a large set of water pump pliers. What's wrong with yours? I have a 2000 sm610 too with the dellorto carb. While you have the flywheel off check your magnets are secure I had one come loose and it wasn't pretty. Bits of magnet everywhere. Lol
There is a tool used to hold the crankshaft still while you're using the puller. "Clutch holder tool." Most of us use two pennies between the gear teeth of the clutch basket and crankshaft.
Modern zinc pennies are malleable enough that they won't damage the gear teeth, and still hard enough to stop the crank from turning.
