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

[Keith Kinney]

Thanks Mike.  I was hoping that wouldn't come through on the video.  :-)  We finally figured out it was not a fuel issue but an ignition issue. For some reason the trip finger on the push rod was not returning far enough to drop in behind the trip lever of the mag.  I didn't have time to fix it but once I do I think it will be a great runner.

I've been watching for a crankshaft and set of flywheels and a few months ago a set came up on Enginads.  They were in Conn. and am in Evansville, IN.  I was able to get them transported from Conn. to Coolspring show last weekend.  Yesterday dad and I took the time to switch them out.  One pleasant surprise is that the new flywheels are actually from a 7 HP Thermoil.  This means they are 1/2 inch wider than the original flywheels.  The added weight should make it a smooth runner.  Here is a link to the before and after video.
