Does anyone know how easily the flywheel should spin by hand. It takes a bit of muscle to turn and doesnt turn freely. What could be causing this?

Is this normal or what can I do to correct it?

Its fresh gas. Also, where can I get a flywheel puller?

If there was water in there, what can I do?

Can you turn the motor over freely without the plugs? By freely you should be able to reach under the coupler cover and spin it with the strenght of a couple of fingers.

Yes, it will spin freely

I still think it's the compression. Try this: small amount of 2 stroke oil down the sp holes, put on the tester and try it that way.
With the plugs in it should not turn easily...due to adequate compression. With plugs out you should be able to spin/turn the engine over, with the flywheel, without much difficulty. A worn out starter will not turn an engine over with enough force. It's usually a bushings or bearings problem. I've never rebuilt a starter. I would rather just buy another one, but keep the old one for parts.
To diagnose water ingestion, you need to either pull the head off or remove either the exhuast or carbs and look through the exhuast or intake ports and look for water corrosion on cylinder walls. The real deal is to pull the head and cylinder and look into the cases at the crank. I don't think you have water ingestion causing a water/vapor lock scenario. If you're scared of water ingestion bath the inside of the cylinder walls with WD40 (through the plug holes or intake/exhaust ports), leave plugs out, and replace starter and turn the engine over to coat the internals.

Thanks again. That's exactly the scenario harder to turn with plugs in and easy when out. I ordered a new starter, lead wires and gaskets. Question. What can I use and where can i find yhe tool to remove and reinstall the flywheel because I have a new bendix to install. I also have a new impeller and need a shaft holder. You guys are absolute life savers.

Where should I get the starter and the coldfusion flywheel holder
Try jetmaniac, he ships super quick. He probably has the spline tool for the driveshaft too. Otherwise here is cold-fusion's site for the flywheel holder if jetmaniac doesn't have any in stock.. http://www.cold-fusion.com/

Does anyone have good instructions for flywheel removal and install.
