standard 22inch flywheels
« on: May 14, 2014, 05:53:30 PM »
I have the 20 inch 'stover' wheels, and I want the bigger, regular, wagon-wheel sort. 

where can I find those?

What is your location? What engine model and speed are you running?

Gary's right.  You can't put just any flywheel on any engine.  Typically the spoked flywheels that you're looking for are only used on 6/1 engines at 650 rpm.  Some Indian assemblers include them on their 8/1 engines which run about 800 rpm.  But the stover-type flywheels with the four equal diameter holes in the web are intended only for the 10/1 which operates at about 1000 rpm.  If you put a 6/1 flywheel on a 10/1 engine, it will be out of balance, and the excessive speed may destroy the flywheel and the engine and possibly cause damage to anything/anyone nearby.

That said, I have a pair of new, unused 6/1 spoked flywheels that I have no need for.  I'm in southern California and get up and down the length of the West coast every few months.

Hey! sorry for the slow response (I thought I'd get an email when someone replied, didn't see it)

I have a standard (Indian) 6/1, and I'm in Northern California - Santa Cruz area.  Quinn, you sound like my hero here!  Let's connect! 

(now I'll have to start the whole 'how-do-I-get-these-old-keys-out' thread.  ha.
