Hello, In this episode, I will show how I repaired the flywheel for a Kohler twin cylinder engine. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will be happy to answer your questions.
Salam, You can coat the wood spacers with a wax release agent and make them easier to remove. This can be accomplished by dipping them in melted paraffin or by wrapping them in wax paper. Dan S. from Michigan & Texas USA
Thank you Dan, I appreciate your comment and tip. I thought about doing something like what you suggested, I opted to do so as the release agent may cause adhering issues.
Very nice when you rehab a flywheel to better blueprint specifications than the original manufacturer. Thanks for taking time to share.. again.. Safe and Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours.
Thank you brother, I didn't believe what I heard when the dealer ask about $300 for new flywheel for a mower I paid $200 for the complete thing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
You can use any type of hammer drill with a punch type of chisel. Apply pressure with two pry bars at two opposite points (make sure you don't damage wires or hoses) between the flywheel and the engine block then use the hammer drill and apply the hammering at the center of the crank shaft (after you lose the nut) and this should free the flywheel from the crank shaft. Another method (more risky) is to apply the pressure with the pry bars and lose the nut and make sure the nut is protecting the thread of the crank shaft and smack it with a hammer. Make sure the nut is about two threads out of the crank shaft thread, it is easier and cheaper to replace the nut than the crank shaft in case of any damage from the hammer. I hope I was able to explain it. If you have any other questions please let me know.
They are the original. They were stuck to the stator. I just cleaned them well. I believe you can find them on eBay. They call them flywheel ferrite magnets (make sure for your Kohler engine model).
The magnets I used are the original. I didn't buy new magnets. I did say that in the video. Search online. I believe you may find new or used magnets on eBay or other online sources.
@@SalamSayhood idk I’m confused I have a 2003 Kholer CV15S and I took the flywheel off and the magnets were stuck to the magneto and there was only 4, I don’t believe 2 would have fallen out there’s no room for them to fall out, I’m honestly stumped
There is no reason to remove the magnets other than the flywheel was built cheaply or a previous person had to repair the flywheel magnets and he lost two or they were damaged. Technically the alternator will output a reduced power if missing two magnets. Keep in mind, the remaining magnets need to alternate polarity as I showed and also each pair needs to be 180 degrees apart to keep the flywheel balanced and also for the alternator to work. Basically you will have something exactly like mine minus two. If it was me, I would find and purchase a set of 6 magnets and install them.
