[SEL] 7 HP Hercules Flywheel Wobble Fixed....

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Very nice Keith.  The extra weight will make it coast and coast.....  I
didn't know the Thermoil flywheels were heavier than their gas engine
brothers.  Was this true for all Thermoils or just the later ones?

>> I have a 7 HP Hercules that had a badly bent crankshaft.  Both
Flywheels wobbled about 1/2 inch and one flywheel had a crack in the

few months ago a set came up on Enginads.  They were in Conn.

Conn. to Coolspring show last weekend.  Yesterday dad and I took

flywheels are actually from a 7 HP Thermoil.  This means they

should make it a smooth runner.  Here is a link to the before and
