Notes

6V vs 12V [2]

gland nut and flywheel notes [3]

flywheel

The flywheel is a heavy, machined steel wheel that is bolted to the end of the crankshaft. The flywheel serves three purposes -

• The primary purpose of the flywheel is to store kinetic energy and maintain the revolving inertia of the engine through its cycles.
• Secondarily, the flywheel serves as part of the engine starting mechanism. There are teeth all around the outer circumference of the flywheel; starter gear engages these teeth to turn the engine over for starting.
• And finally, the machined face of the flywheel acts as part of the clutch.
• The flywheel is attached to the front of the crankshaft by four dowel pegs and very tightly secured (>254 ft-lbs) by a single central gland nut which also incorporates needle roller bearings for the gearbox input shaft.

thoughts

pump attachment

• use clutch
  • need clutch parts
    • engagement rods and center piece
    • shafting to clutch
• custom plate with shaft attached to flywheel
  • could use bell housing or build mount for starter and pump
    • would need coupling and shafting through bell housing
