Flywheel / Timing Key

[dedwardk]

When installing a new timing key do you want to try and advance the flywheel over as much as possible or is the idea that this will move itself back and forth when spinning up and down ?

And to quadruple check its 54lbs. for stock flywheel on a clone engine ..correct ?

Step goes to the right, clock or rotate the flywheel against the step and torque. I torque mine to 60 ft/lb

Ok thanks .. I didn't do that maybe that will help

So after adjusting flywheel again I dont see any real gain.. It's also more sketchy idle and stumbles slightly before it picks up..

From flywheel side engine turns/runs clockwise rotation...to advance the timing with a cut key you need to advance the flywheel more clockwise. Is this what you done ?

 

[dedwardk]

Yes .. I made sure this time .. I'll throw the 6 degree key in and see if it smooths out

Ok I made a mistake again..I oiled my air filter too much.. Took it out today and ran great..

Ok..I oiled my air filter too much..

I have got an aluminum flywheel from a gcv160, how many degrees is that wheel timed at? If you understand my poor Norwegian English..

 

[OND]

Don't know for sure on that engine...but most of the clones and predator 212 are about 15 degrees advanced.

I've looked at it now, and the gcv flywheel is more like 30-35 degrees. Runs fine on my gx160 though, very responsive.

I thought the clones were 28 degrees... If I come across the actual info I'll post it...
