Changing Cog a Gear for starter B/S 287707
I need to change the cog on the starter as well as the gear on the flywheel that it marries up to on a Briggs and Stratton M-287707 T-0228 01. Is this a repair I should be able to do or do I need to take it to the shop. Is there anyway to jury rig a way to pull the flywheel without the proper tools.

Heh, heh! How motivated are you? I once had the bolts holding the starter on my automotive style inboard outboard engine break off while I was out in a seaway, alone. So the starter fell completely off the engine, with only the wires attached.
I managed to hold the starter in place by hand and power the starter to get the engine started.
My current 120 HP outboard is designed to only be started with a electric starter, but I've sized it up and decided that if the battery were flat I could probably wrap the flywheel with some rope and give it a pull to try to get it started. If that were to happen while I was out in a seaway again, I wouldn't be surprised if I could get it started!

Pulling the flywheel isn't too hard to "make shift" on. Just use a couple of wooden wedges to get a little pressure under the flywheel then tap on the outside of the flywheel. Use a little common sense when you force the flywheel out with the wedges - the idea is to put a little pressure on it.
