In case anyone didn't know, that's George's picture in the upper left corner of this website. George has been a good friend to me since before this website began back in 2005 and supported me when I needed it. He has helped this community so much and he will be missed. He used to have a signature that said something like he wanted to finish this life with the feeling of "Man! What a ride!" I think he did it like nobody else.

Mr Buckler, We really like to stick with builds done according to sanctioned mower racing rules. Ungoverned engines require billet flywheels for reasons I hope you never discover personally.

« on: January 02, 2013, 07:39:53 am »Command vtwin. 18-30hp all the same flywheel. And most all the other parts except a 30 has a little bit more stroke then the rest of them.Are the rods the same in the 18-27HP? There is an offset built into the rod at the main journal end on the 18 and we figured that offset changed as the bore size went up.

stahlwerks: the coil change has to do with two things. 1. It is what we were told was desired, and 2. we wanted to use what we already knew would work with our existing magnet configuration. As a side note, the ability to utilize the 6611 body as a base means we don't have to create a "special" part for specific engine that may not represent a very large market. This makes the part less expensive.
If you have to change the coils from what comes stock anyway, why does it matter which coil is chosen? The Vanguard coils are inexpensive and proven with our flywheels.
As far a shoe-horning junk sitting on our shelves...we are designing the rod and likely making the bearing as well, so we can make it to whatever specs we want. Wiseco stocks a great deal of larger pistons for motorcycles and such and these pistons are less expensive than custom stuff. The pistons are the same as what you would get if you had custom wrist-pin holes and such, so we aren't shoe-horning junk, but rather we are adapting an existing proven setup with a product where we can choose the configuration.

The flywheel is going into final testing mode tomorrow. It is made with a 6611 flywheel body, so if you already have a 6611 type flywheel, you will be able to convert that flywheel by purchasing the correct hub, coil brackets, and ring gear/standoffs.
This flywheel is designed to use the Briggs Vanguard/Model 28 coil.
All I know about the engine it is designed for is that everyone calls it a Kohler V-twin or Command V-twin. Is there a more specific name? Also, is there a family or range of HP/cc ratings that can all use this flywheel?

Rumor has it that JE is getting out of the Jr dragster piston business, so Blossom called us and asked us to get behind an effort to supply and stock wiseco alternatives. It requires a big investment because wiseco wont stock them. That is all beginning to come together now.
We will likely make rods for the stock pistons and the wisecos.

We are almost finished with a flywheel for the v-twin and have started on connecting rods.

Thank you everyone. The outpouring of support has been humbling. I am up and around, but still not able to do much of anything. I should recover fully in time.
