Flywheel

The flywheel of an engine performs four functions:

• It stores energy.

• Provides the momentum that keeps the crankshaft 

rotating between power strokes.

• It times the firing of the ignition module. 

• Forces air around the engine for cooling.

To remove the flywheel:

1.     Remove the spark plug by following the steps 

described in Chapter 2: Maintenance.

2.

Remove the starter by following the procedures 
described in Chapter 6: starter.

3.

Remove the flywheel by striking the crankshaft with a 
brass punch. See Figure 4.7.

NOTE: 

It is not necessary to remove the module to 

remove the flywheel. 

NOTE: 

The Belleville washer between the flywheel and 

the spacer may grab the crankshaft like a pawl nut 
when compressed. To remove the washer, use the 
flywheel as a slide hammer and drive the washer 
off of the crankshaft. Discard the damaged washer.

NOTE: 

Inspect the flywheel key and the crankshaft key-

way. See Figure 4.8.

NOTE: 

The flywheels used on the P25 series of engines 

are double sided fans for greater cooling capacity. 
See Figure 4.9.

4.

Inspect the flywheel and key for any signs of dam-
age.

5.

Install the flywheel by following the previous steps in 
reverse order.

NOTE: 

Tighten the clutch to a torque of 210 - 230 in lbs 

(24 - 26 Nm).

NOTE: 

Set the module air gap by following the steps 

described in the previous section of this manual.

6.

Test run the engine before returning it to service.
