Homelite Flywheel?
New to gas boats.
I have purchased a 25CC Homelite (from Home Depot) I am currently reworking it to be watercooled and removing un-necassary plastic etc.. I am looking at the flywheel to reduce weight. This motor currently has a front mount pull start which utilizes the flywheel. Any thoughts on how to remove weight from this? (I am thinking of at least removing the cooling fins and then rebalancing it) or would this even be a good idea?

RE: Homelite Flywheel?
only remove the fins if its been watercooled and if you do the fins, check the balance of the wheel before fin removal then return it to the same balance
