Hi Jeff, I think you could fit the vertical pull, as you say you need to change the flywheel. Pretty sure everything lines up, trying to think. I assume the one you are trying to explain is the sprag type clutch that sticks through the top when you remove the cowl? Pity you are not down here I have a pile of Briggs cowls 3 feet high, never know when you might need a part from one of them
