Hello there I'm working on my very first Villiers 2 stroke which I've been told it's a 3G?. also I've got.the cylinder head off to clean things up but notice the rotation on flywheel by hand gets quite tough just before and going through TDC just as the Magnets on magneto flywheel line up with the coil ends . Questions are :

Is this normal like did they use powerful magnets back then?.it's quite tough to rotate through!

Can anyone I.d this engine?

How does this flywheel come off? the nut goes loose then just stops?! required pic below, many thanks!!
