Timco,
Did you do the caveman spark test to 100% prove no spark? At this point you need data. The flywheel looks great. It is suspect because it is new, but I would not be taking it out without a whole lot more trouble shooting.

I've only run my Durametric a handful of times (around 10) so I'm a newbie. It works by reading the computer inputs when the engine is running. I don't think it is much help with the engine off.

Having a buddy come over to crank it so I don't have to rig the cave man test for solo experimentation.

As to the flywheel, it's like Miller Light.

Fellas, it just doesn't get any better than this.......
