    Exploding Flywheel?

    To your Edit--From what I have heard (from the owner of the website) he was new to the sport and was too anxious to hear it run, rather than to wait the couple of days to get a steel flywheel shipped to him.

    Exploding Flywheel?

    Yeah, thats why I was a bit concerned when I first saw the post. My motor was built by Midwest and this is a video of a motor 95% the same. The only differences are: I have a newer cam grind, I am running two 56mm Mikuni's and I have a different chassis as them. The motors run very similar...

    Exploding Flywheel?

    I am not into go-karts, but garden tractor pulling. I have personally witnessed a flywheel blow-up and it was not pretty. The engine was turning about 5000rpm on a cast flywheel.
