I copied one of the last postings. Looks like that flywheel developed cracks in spokes!!!....

had to modify my lite wheel, he turned another 1/8" off the inside where it goes onto the taper of the shaft. I installed it and ran my engine up to 7100 rpm, shut it down to check the wheel and to my surprise I found three of the four spokes had cracks and the wheel was oval {not round anymore}. Makes for a good paper weight.

TLC priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!! [X(]


So that was the end of that one. My Idea was to make the wheel (rotor) part from flat aluminum plate and attach magnets in cut-outs. Opposing side of rotor would be a counter balance, perhaps held there with rivets. Capt,n
