My new M94 is here and I have begin to tinker! I want to try more Flywheel weight,....but would like to see the results before turning heavy "tires"....I don't mind making the "tires" but would like an educational guess on just how much More weight might be desirable...I found some Lead tape online, it's common use is to weight tune golf clubs, that might be a more elegant route...but I can not wait to test!... So...my local harbour freight has tire weights for decent price...the adhesive is pretty good, and I washed the flywheels with rubbing alcohol for best bond...but these are designed to go Inside rims where centrifugal force would help them stay in place. In my situation centrifugal force will cause them to want to fly off...specialy after the engine starts slinging oil all about....I don't want to run these very long...just a test...thinking of binding them with carefully applied painters tape, it has a bit of stretch and I am hopeful with the stretching and several layers it will all hold together for a test run!
The engine shipped quite dry...if I hold the exhaust valve open and give it a hand flick it only spins about 3 times around...the tire weights add 8.5oz total...the same hand flick now gives me about 9 times around before stopping, so 8.5 oz should be a noticeable difference! To be continued....
