020av flywheel

[Richsark]

Hi

I've just knocked my 020av flywheel off the bench. and broke one and half fins off, bugger! Will it be ok or will it be too unbalanced?

Get a pic up bud.

 

Depends spud will knock some off the other side to "balance" it. I would replace it. Sometimes it makes to difference at all.

 

Lets see a pic.

I tried hope this works I've never done it before

[Richsark]

Cool it worked

[Rich2484]

Seen a lot worse. Just knock one off the opposite side to help balance. But IMO others may differ a flywheel that small wont be effected that much.

 

Best to try and find a replacement.

[Richsark]

Thanks Rich I will do that, and keep a look out for a replacement.

Cheers mate

The risk of a damaged flywheel is vibration and damage to the crankcases bearings. If the replacement cost is prohibitive then balancing it roughly by knocking of opposite fins is an option on a saw with no great value

 

 

I have seen bearings damaged with a really bad flywheel but your plan sounds fine to me - got two of these in my collection of saws to refurb!

Hi spud

I've knocked the opposing 1,1/2 fins off, also I've had a search on the net for a replacement but no luck, I think I will put it back together run it up and compare it for vibration against my other 020, on second thoughts I will keep looking for a flywheel, rather than knacker a good old saw.

Cheers spud
