In which direction does the flywheel spin on the Husqvarna 125BV-x Blower looking at it from the gas tank side?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I don't want to create any confusion with the wrong answer so just look at the starter and see which way the rope is turning the flywheel. OR look at the flywheel and notice the curve to the fins. They cup the air and push it.

[@gRosh08]

Thanks for speedy reply. So, if the fins "cup" the air, it looks like it spins counter-clockwise. The starter is in pieces thanks to my neighbor. Cheers! @@TheGreasyShopRag

Are the crack’s from the manufacturer? Or stress? Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow for your wife.

My guess is vibration that keeps getting worse as those screws threaded into plastic get loose. My other guess is that the impeller was cranked on too tight. If I had a third guess it would be that a hard piece of debris went throught the fan although in this case I'm not seeing evidence of that.

@@steveriggenbach90 Two part plasic epoxy or the next bigger size screw are my most used methods.

@@TheGreasyShopRag I’ve used coarse in aluminum in place of fine.

@@steveriggenbach90 That works and in fact some of those factory screws in aluminum are already course.
