I will welcome tips for partly disassembling a Flambeau for cleaning and inspection. Recoil came off easily. How should I remove carb adjusting “wheels”. Can the fuel tank be removed without risking sealing damage to carb or other parts? Please advise, thanks

Good info Buc!

These are fun motors, but not really designed for intuitive disassembly and re-assembly. Take your time and it will come apart OK.

Fuel tank has to come off to service the carb anyway, so good time to do it.

Detail #254 needs to be removed to get the mag plate off. Screwdriver hole in the tank to access screw holding it in.
I spent an evening trying to get mag plate off so I could remove the tank before I saw detail 254 holding it in.

Maybe I should start working on mine soon so I could learn something
from your efforts. Mine is froze up, but no idea if it’s the power head
or lower unit yet.

Is it just 1/8″ pipe? How’s the part that it screws into?

All those screws that hold the clamshell together are different lengths. Take a piece of wood and draw their aproximate location on it in respect to their location on the motor. Drill holes in the wood and put those screws there.
