I am having to pull the flywheel off and can a two bolt puller pull the flywheel. I will have to tape out the holes since the threads have been stripped out. Is that normal that someone has trouble and pulls the threads out. I was checkout the the RV before leaving tomorrow to go to TN for a week next week. I need the generator since it will be more than two riding and my dash air does not work very good.

Art,
Why must you pull the flywheel? If to replace the oil seal, I don't know
any alternative. But if you suspect trouble with the flywheel alternator,
the suggestion I just send to Bob Heller may be a quicker, "let's leave
tomorrow", solution: Connect a 12 vac output transformer to the 120 vac
output of the generator as a substitute for the flywheel alternator. That
can be a permanent solution. Even a "wall wart" would do since all it's
driving is K2 relay.

Disregard all that about the transformer. :-)

I believe the manual includes a method that doesn't require a puller. (You may want to try it before spending to much time with a tap.) I do not have the manual handy but it went something like this:
Loosen, but do not remove, the bolt/nut holding the fly wheel on. Tap on alternating sides of the flywheel with a hammer (BFH) prying on the opposite side when "tapping" may help. When (if?) it comes loose you'll know why they say not to remove the center bolt all the way. (Steering wheels can also be removed this way.)
Good luck.

Thanks. After I taped the holes I was able to get it off. I wish I had a shaft seal because it looks like it was leaking. Maybe next time. I broke the muffler bracket and will have to make a new one. I will try and make a new one, but somehow I will get it together. Any ideas as how to make one

I know they sell them but I am leaving at 7am for a trip. So I will make something to get me by until I can get a good one. I just made a pattern and will make one out of sheet metal for the time being. I could not see any place to support the muffler other making a bracket. Heading out to purchase some sheet metal.
Thanks
