  • If you Hit Something and Bent Your Blade? Wont Start or Kicks Back?
    Pull cord rips out of your hand?
    Then you may have spun the Flywheel!
    In this video I show two ways to remove the flywheel on any Briggs & Stratton small engine.

    Arch my first experience with a sheared key was when I was about 10y old and hit a water meter cover with our push mower.
    It was neat watching my dad fix it using the pry/hammer technique.
    Nice video brother, keep up the great work. 👍

    The only problem with oiling the shaft before putting the flywheel on is that it allows the flywheel to slip and break the key again . I know because it happened to me . I like your puller i need to get one . Nice and informative video .

      Thanks Bud,,,,,Yea it could let the flywheel slip. I used a mix of transmission fluid and gas 50/50..
      I've done many machines like this and no issues.

    Good video Arch. I recently had a Tecumseh aluminum flywheel that was stuck so bad I used a 3 jaw puller. Not recommended, but it was a last resort.

    I did not have a tap so I screwed in some self tapping screws and it held good.

    Bought and sold many mowers - I'm the guy that always uses a torque wrench on every bolt or nut I can get it on to.. Highly doubt the spec on that one is supposed to be anywhere near 100 ft/lb. Although it explains why some are so hard to get off, because of "instructional" vids like this... Honda GCV 160 is between 38/55 ft/lb depending on material. Torquing the flywheel nut with an impact IMO falls into the "brute force and complete ignorance" category.

    I have a quick question what flywheel can I "substitute" for the part# (A101188) single magnet flywheel Model Pwb163150e Leaf Blower Engine? I appreciate any advice thanks

    • @TheNovaJohn
      @TheNovaJohn  Před rokem +1

      I don't know exactly but you will need to find a proper replacement. Take the model number and find a parts breakdown. Then search the part number.
      Generally they don't break.

    Units like this with a brake on the flywheel are notorious for shearing the woodruff key. Trying to stop the engine by placing a brake on the flywheel is a recipe for disaster. Best way to stop the motor is via grounding the ignition as all older units and most new units.

    • @TheNovaJohn
      @TheNovaJohn  Před 2 lety

      I've never thought of it this way...
      I can say that typically the engines I see with failed keys are due to the owner hitting an immovable object.
      These brakes don't hit the flywheel hard, so it may not really effect it.
      Either way, good observation! Thanx fer watchin!

    Not a woodruff key.
