TOHATSU 40 Service Manual page 254

Flywheel is under high torque and requires the
use of special tools for removal and installation.
Failure to use the specified tools can result in
injury or damage to the flywheel or coil plate
electrical components.
The force needed to loosen and tighten the
flywheel nut requires flywheel be removed and
installed with engine mounted and secured on an
engine stand.
Use proper precautions when performing tests
with the engine cover removed. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from the flywheel and other
moving parts.
When repairs are complete, make sure all ignition
and electrical leads are properly routed and
clamped in their original positions and the start-
in-gear prevention system must be tested before
returning engine to customer.
Starter System Testing
The starter system may cause three types of problems:
• The engine does not crank, see Starter Circuit Tests inthis
section.
• The starter motor runs but does not engage or disengage from
the flywheel, see Starter Motor Test in this section.
• The starter motor will not shut off, see Starter Solenoid Test in
this section.
