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

Keith:

Hve you counted the revs between hits?  Between the wobbling
of the flywheels and the time between hits, I almost fell
asleep. ......  Well - for me that's not to big of a deal.

Take care - Elden

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 hub.  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.
