i'm with you on this tale. after all, we did not see him try and start the engine before the welding trick. as for contacting the video guy, i think there would be a language barrier, as his descriptions are in a foreign language.
i'm having a hard time seeing how this would work. BUT i am willing to try it, just need more info on how exactly to do it. i have a gauss meter, so i could measure the magnets before and after. much better than the picking up random nuts technique he used. i just don't understand the welding part. does the metal welding plate need to touch the flywheel? how close do you need to be? is it just a standard arc welder? (i believe those are AC volts.) is the wet rag just to keep the alloy flywheel cool, or does it serve some other purpose?
