Aluminum Flywheel

Is Midwest Supercub the only place to buy a flywheel or does Arc make one for a twin too?

Lakota Racing may have one available.  They made us one but I don't know if they stock them.  Its not on the web site http://www.lakotaracing.com/ but they did make some.  You could call them and ask.   I've never seen on from ARC.

ARC doesn't make one John. MWSC has some that aren't on the site as well.

you can also try Mid Atlantic Performance...they sell all the kohler parts just like MWSC but a little cheaper.

Used it all year. No problems. Just put some red loc-tite on the crank and you're good to go.

Thanks for the info, thats good news. Are they adjustable for timing, or are you using a different ignition system?

A friend of mine uses these flywheels on his kohler and the timing is adjustable on the wheel.

Hey Jim, you can also get a flywheel like mine if you are building an FXT from MWSC.
