While trying to get my 25cc Homie started (first conversion) I loosened the flywheel, but did not torque it back down fully. As a result, the flywheel “cast in place” keyway has sheared off about half way down and does not engage well enough to lock the flywheel in place. While I’m looking for another flywheel, I suspect that simply torqueing down on the nut holding it all together will keep the flywheel from slipping. I’d like to get it running, as I finally have time, but am concerned about doing more damage.

Will the torque from the nut on the end of the (long) shaft keep the flywheel in the right position? I’ll mark the orientation with a sharpie, but am looking for some reassurance that this is a reasonable assumption.

Thanks,

Jack
