General Discussion / Re: Welding from a Listeroid/ST generator rig
« on: October 19, 2022, 12:37:35 PM »
maybe I spelled it incorrectly. My english is really bad. I was referring to balancing the listers (oids) with two flywheels. In my case a CS / 8. I have read a lot of posts and done research but I am not clear about some steps of the procedure. In some images I see a counterweight tied to the flywheel by means of a cord and I suppose that the weight obtained must be the same for the two flywheels. If this weight is different, we will need to add weight to the lighter one. It's correct? If I understand correctly, once this "equality" operation has been carried out, you have to reassemble the flywheels and try to add weight in the part diametrically opposite to the original offset, until you find the right compromise, eliminating as many vibrations as possible.

Hello everyone. I have read various treads in this forum, written over the years, about flywheel balancing. There are some things I don't understand and I would be grateful to those who have already done this if he could help me. I got an axle with bearings where I will place the flywheel. The first question: if I put weight on the opposite side of the flywheel counterweight to cancel it, won't the engine start jumping even more? I think I understand that the flywheels have a counterweight to counteract the force of the piston and try to balance the crankshaft. It's correct? After having found the weight to add I read from 38ac "once you have the weight in the correct position and with respect to the key and equally weighted both flywheels, you attach them to the engine and adjust the offset weight to make the operation easier". How do I know how much counterweight and where should I put it when the flywheels are reassembled?
Thanks for any help.
