replacment flywheel
 

Where can i find a replacement flywheel for a 12A mine is a 85 if that matters. Please help me.

Why do you need a replacement flywheel? :confused:

Give us some details... what's happening?

You can get them resurfaced for about $35 at most decent machine shops.

well everytime i hit the starter i get this loud squeling sound so i took the starter off and the teeth on my flywheel were rounded off

Oh, bad ring gear then. What cause it to get chewed, bad starter, maybe needs to be shimmed when the new flywheel is installed. Might just want to replace the starter all together, since it has to come off anyways.

Not sure if anybody around will replace just the ring gear, I never had it done.

I will take a look at the 1 I have in the garage and verify the condition. I had it resurfaced, shortly after that I replaced it with a lightweight steel unit.

The thing weights like 28# if I remember correctly.

If you lived in the UK, you could have my one for free - im only chucking it

How much whould it cost me to ship it over

I've replaced the starter ring before. It is incredibly simple. Once the old one is off

-You clean up the flywheel.
-You place the flywheel in the freezer (contracts, shrinks)
-Place the starter ring in the oven. (Expands, grows)
-Place the hot ring on a very flat surface.
-Place the cold flywheel into the starter ring.
-Voila!!

The instructions were in the Haynes manual. It was really cheap and easy. Just the way I like it. Did have to replace the starter also. The gear in the starter was pretty beat up.

don't know how much it would cost - but im guessing around $50 - its bloody heavy!! It'd be easier to simply buy an aftermarket lightened flywheel
