I just bought a 36hp engine. it is missing the flywheel. the person I bought it from said it runs, but I have no way to tell with out a flywheel on it. I have some flywheels but do not know if they are correct for that engine. they are 6v but not sure if they are 40hp or earlier. is there a way to tell if it is a 36hp flywheel?? any help will be appreciated! Confused Confused

Yes, the 4 dowel pins are smaller in diameter. Same 6 volt flywheel size and 180mm clutch.

40hp, 1500-1600 use 8mm dowels
36hp use 6mm dowels
