Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): coleman powermate generator, coleman powermate generator, rotor shaft

Question
tecumseh (mod # OHH550 spec 69069) 5.5hp ohv motor, coleman powermate(mod # PM0523001.01 ser # 81021047) maxa 3ooow generator.I am trying to take generator off motor so I can buy new motor on line,(small engine shop here said compression too low and tecumseh got bought out and not worth repair) and keep it going.Generator working fine when motor lost compression.All the way down to removing rotor and plastic flywheel but cant get it off.I went to coleman powermate manuals website and saw blowup of motor and gen and removed all nuts bolts etc(and the long one holding rotor)and do not know how to get rotor off.I'm scared to try a gear puller as flywheel is plastic.Tried large screwdriver under edges of rotor winding but it didn't loosen it.Yes I smacked the large screwdriver with a rubber mallet (more than a few times) around the perimeter of the base of the rotor.If I can get this off it will give me access to the final or "back" end of the generator housing where I can remove and re-install on new motor.
Congrats on your Navy Service.I was on a frigate for 4 yrs,and  honorably discharged, and my younger brother retired  a couple of years ago as a master chief after 22 yrs.

Answer
Ok so you do not have a threaded shaft then pull on it till it gets loose, you can use a hammer with a block of wood to get to loosen up. As far as 5 in the knowledge we are helping you by the question you ask we are not there to see the equipment. We are not magicians.

The crankshaft you have is tapered so what you have to do is get a bolt the same size as the one you removed from the rotor. Now here is where it kind of tricky.You need to cut the head off about 1 inch back so this bolt is 1 inch shorter that the original bolt. Now you need to cut a slot in the top (not the threaded side)So you can put a screw driver in the slot.Screw that into the  rotor shaft till it goes in the threaded hole a 1/2 inch. Look at the rotor shaft there should be some threads.
Now you have to find a hex head bolt that will thread in the rotor shaft that.Screw that bolt in till it bottoms out on the inner bolt, keep screwing it in until it pops off. The principle of this is to make a tool that will push the rotor out because the shaft bolt is being forced down by the top threaded bolt causing the rotor to push against the engine shaft then it will pop off .

Or you can maybe find a shop that will let you rent one if you buy one then it can be used for other engines.

Hope this works out.

I was on a LPD with the marines in our well deck to land the close to shore. Wow Master chief does are the cool guys been in so long they don't mess with you.
