Flywheel?

[lillbush]

Are the magnets on the inside of my flywheel supposed to be glued on or not? Its a Force 120 I dont know but my magnets just come off and spin inside the flywheel. If they are supposed to be glued on do you think some sort of 2 part epoxy will work?

Thanks
Matt

Re: Flywheel?

When I had mine off, the magnet fell off too, Mine had a long magnetic strip that went completely around the inside of the flywheel, it looked like the glue just got old and cracked off, I just used a very small bit of clear silicone on the back of the magnet, then pressed it into the flywheel very good so it didn't build up the magnet any more than it should. Worked great.

Re: Flywheel?

JB Weld works well. Just make sure the magnets go north-south-north-south all the way around. The magnets will pull themsleves into the flywheel, no clamping usually necessary. Bits of fuel hose placed between them make good spacers.
