The flywheel and boss are also welded with a special rod because they are made from different metals. IMHO this is highly advisable on Varitronics used on anything revvy or that produces much over 22hp.

Last one I had, only the rivets looked like they had a tig torch near them.Speed Demon wrote:The flywheel and boss are also welded with a special rod because they are made from different metals. IMHO this is highly advisable on Varitronics used on anything revvy or that produces much over 22hp.

Did you take the fan off Jase - one's we've had have also had beads of weld from flywheel to boss on 4 points around the flywheel but it's hidden by the fan. Could be different on the new type though.
