A piece of the flywheel is missing? If so, it is in danger of a high speed failure (VERY bad) and at best will be out of balance (also bad). I would say cut it off being VERY CAREFUL to not damage anything else, or use a jaw-type puller, either way the flywheel will be junk.

its just a small piece on the bolt hole right next to the main shaft , the only purpose of the hole is to attach a puller ,I think ,it looks like someone tried to pull it off before and took a small piece of the metal off instead,I keep telling myself to try and get this motor going but a newer 4 stroke engine would be so much easier!!!
