10 HP Briggs, while trying to pry off the flywheel, I punctured a hole in the top of the case. (I did try to use the pulley first but it still wouldn't budge so I used a large screw driver to help, bad move). Anyway their is a small square hole, around 1 inch by 1/2 inch. Can a patch be welded over the whole or can you patch it with JB weld? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Job completed. I tipped the engine over and was able to power rinse the inside of the case with cleaning solvent and a little 12 volt pump that I rigged up. There were two broken pieces that washed right on out. I then cleaned the outside of the case, patched the hole with JB Weld and a piece of aluminum. I also drilled and screwed the patch on as well. She fired right up and ran great. Hooray.

Thank you all for you advice.
