Your question is hard to understand. Which light weight flywheel do you mean? And going Into a corner, a light flywheel helps the mower slow down faster as well.

That will work really nice and rev lightening fast. You will have to use a kart style starter since it has no ring gear.

What Tyler means is you will need a off-board starter. And someone to use it for you.

When you let off the gas going into the corners, your mower will want to kick you around.  It's like applying the rear brakes.  It will be even more noticeable than what we have with the ARC flywheels.  You will have to apply a partial throttle while riding your rear brakes through the corners for a smooth transition back into the straights.  If not you will be prone to get sideways very easily.  Not a good scenario if you have a short wheelbase as it is.  What is your current wheelbase?  I remember it is longer than your original mower, which is a good thing
