Subject: lightening flywheel
Message text written by Mark Hooper
><snip> I am concerned that
lightening the flywheel would make the whole machine shake quite badly at
idle. Is this rough idle normal and thus I should fix carb issue 1 before
worrying about weight issue 2 ?<
I don't know how it will affect the idle but remember that the inertia in
the flywheel is one of the things that helps launch the car from a
standstill and with your warmer cam you've already traded off some of the
low end torque of the engine. Good for racing, I suppose but if you want a
street car that won't die at stop signs...
Cheers
Dave
