I removed the flywheel and found this thing under it which has a wire attached to it. What is it? Thanks in advance.

Accidentally didn't get the picture all the way here! Get us a picture and someone will have an answer. Don't worry, most of us have had a picture not post.

Charging coil?
Probably a janky points condenser part, I've never seen one wrapped in cloth before... Or it's an internal charging coil. We have to remember this engine has E-start, so it could have a stronger charging system. I think we have to bring in @karl for this one.

I removed the e-start completley, so can i remove it? And also the wire wasn't attached to anything.

No. This is what provides the electricity for your spark plug to function. I would suggest checking out a video of how a basic four-cycle engine works so you understand the principle. It's a whole lot easier to fix something like this when you understand it.

It's not the coil I don't think. Not if it's under/behind the flywheel. But I could be wrong, it would be the 9 millionth time.

Well, it ain't attached to anything so how does it power the spark plug?
