Title: billet flywheel question.
Post by: shadetree57 on May 06, 2014, 04:22:15 pm
A friend of mine and fellow racer is running a kohler single. What flywheel are you guys running? He ordered one but it didn't come with cooling fins and had to change over the ring gear and magnet. I think he got it from west coast super cub. That may be wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I run Briggs so I'm not much help to him. Thanks guys.

If it's a command single, then Midwest Super Cub is the only place I know of making flywheels for them. You have to remove the stock steel ring rear and the magnet and install them on the billet flywheel. It's fairly simple to do.  You can order the flywheel from them with or without the cooling fins.

Thanks Cromwell. He modified his cooling fins to work but had to balance the flywheel when he added the magnet. Looks like they would balance them for the magnet but I guess some may be running some sort of electronic ignition. I know nothing much about these kohlers.
