Varitronic flywheel options

[red ghost]

All the threads on my Varitronic flywheel are now stripped, made from cheese I believe..

Is a center boss available seperatley?

I can repair the fan threads and have a think about the center thread..

If I buy a new flywheel, that's another AU$300, which will make it an AU$900 ignition kit

$300 can get me a new af/bgm ignition kit from SCK

Can I ask how you removed the flywheel? I've a Varitronic flywheel that I need to remove with knackered threads. Mine were made of cheese also.

Hi Bilko, I made a puller which utilizes the 4 M6 threads for the fan, but that failed due to the cheese factor, so I tried with the center boss thread with a regular puller one last time and it worked..

Ok, thanks. Sorry I can't answer your question by the way, but I may be looking a boss too for mine from my Muggy 225 engine.

will your flywheel puller still go in . if it will take out centre bolt of puller push it into flywheel as fas as it will go .the drill holes through flywheel nut shape into puller stick some bolts in the holes put bolt back in centre of puller and screw it in this should pull flywheel off

Thanks I'll give this a go, it's on my old Muggy 225 engine, which needs an overhaul. I should be starting that next week.
