sound like the ignition timing is too advanced. it was ok with it being rich mixture as it was a slower burn. Now you have leaned out the mixture is is a much more efficient and faster burn and is having the effect of locking up. Try retarding the ignition timing .

yes the flywheel has to come off to get to points but if you have a spark i would not bother.it looks like you need a puller to extract the flywheel.

I think from memory the unloaded voltage can vary widly as control it is dependent on load.
When testing the battery voltage will go up as far as 13.5volt. this is rev dependent. The faster the more volts. What problems are you seeing?
