Once again, T-Mike hits it out of the park with his great videos. I've learned more about classics from T-Mike then I learned at Marine Tech School. Mike, If you need free labor for a week, I'm your man. Would be worth the trip to learn from the master.
My 1958 10hp Evinrude Sportwin flywheel was hardly throwing enough spark to ignite the fuel. I attached 2 small neodymium magnets inside those 2 holes behind the magnets and now its throwing sparks that arc over an inch and cranks much easier.
But that causes another issue it puts the flywheel out of balance and it will cause the bearings to wear badly. But maybe its not enough to hurt it in the short long run.
@@gunfisher4661 well it turns out the rings had lost alot of compression and that was the whole reason it was so hard to start. Replaced it with a 73 Johnson 20 horse. Got it for 300$ has over 130 psi on both cylinders
How long does a recharge hold up ? Is it worth it maybe yes I guess as you can`t buy new fly wheels. That`s puts a thought in my head can you lets say rebuild a fly wheel?
This is really cool T-Mike had no idea you could test a flywheel like that , let alone recharge it. Question: did you ever go back a few days or months later to see if it held ? Just wondering if it did drop down. If it would be a good idea to charge it up high expecting a drop to hit that 42 spot ?
Hey, merci mon ami ! It would be great if you revisited a recharged flywheel after it would have sit for some time on a shelf and more importantly after let's say 5 hours of use. Also, does anyone out there know of OMC's specs on those ?
