lightened flywheel for af16e

Post by Trafficjamz »

Has anyone successfully lightened the af16 flywheel or found a lighter ignition setup for it?

I would think with a CVT trans and clutch set up you would want the heavier flywheel for launching.

Does this look like it could be made to work?

This is for the electrical side of things :wink:

Much lighter flywheel = higher revs

I launch so far above stock rpms, that I don't think take off would be affected too much.

O.K. bear, you are dead wrong as far as weight on the crank end shafts goes but when it comes to the clutch its old school vs hi tech then its jog vs dio engines, i tune to my specs :smile:

What about cutting down some of the mass from your existing flywheel and seeing how that performs. I imagine that it could be thinned out and the magneto could be extended outwards to accomidate.

I would agree with Bear on this one though. The extra mass of the flywheel would help mainain inertia when the engine loads up. I would like to see how or what does actually happen when you do swap to the lighter setup.

in our country we shaved the magnet as we call it here 2mm on the side and 2mm on the top...

some claim that lightened magnet is good for accelaration but weak on the top end...

we are running on 400m so top end is really important for us...

having a stock flywheel will give u better top end that's what they say...

but since ur track is shorter, lightned magnet will do...

if u want higher rpm try to advance ur ignition timing...

i tried the lightened magneto before...2mm shaved on the side..
