Rage_kage Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Has anybody ever ran into there flywheel arching/gouging to the tapered section of the crankshaft? I'm just trying to figure out what's causing it on mine Sent from my phone Quote
sheerider11 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Seen pics of them weld them selves to the snout and pull out some nice chunks. As far as why? I'm not sure I luckily have never personally had an issue. I think it's from not lapping the flywheel to the crank and it arcs. But hopefully someone smarter theN me has a proven answer Quote
J-Madd Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Lap it and coat the snout with blue loctite before install. I forget the terminology that describes the erosion of the metal due to that. Quote
Rage_kage Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Posted July 26, 2016 Its almost like the crankshaft is the ground and the stator is shorting out through it, I had a decent amount of water trapped in there after a race... Sent from my phone Quote
VegasJeff Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 There was a member named Pappasmurf on here years ago with the same situation you describe. I remember he boxed it all up and sent it to Brandon at mull engineering. Not sure what the outcome was, but he may remember. . Quote

But since I read that, I run a ground from engine to chassis. Might help, might not. But it doesn't hurt. My nology hot wires also have ground straps to the head. I went to walmart and got a lawn mower starter cable. Was like 8 bucks, I think like 2 or 4 gauge with 2 nice eyelets. Quote
sleeper06 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 Rob , I use locktite on all yours so u shouldn't see it . I believe electrolysis is the term your looking for . The flywheel creates a magnetic field 1 Quote

ClaudeMachining Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 I did my own harness. I grounded the engine to the frame too. I always sand to bare metal where i ground my thing. Electricity 101 here. Quote
J-Madd Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 All grounds already go back to the same black wire. It's not like a car with a battery. I stand by my stance that zero grounds are needed. No need to sand your pc or oven worry about the coil being grounded. 1 Quote
