Just so, how do I know if my flywheel key is sheared?
The symptoms of a sheared flywheel key range widely from a barely noticeable misfire to a no-start condition. In between these extremes the engine may misfire noticeably, run rough, backfire, be difficult to restart hot, or lack power. Advanced timing can cause engine overheating.
Subsequently, question is, how does a lawn mower Flywheel work? Simply, it stores the momentum from combustion to keep the crankshaft turning in between the engine's power strokes. The flywheel stores energy when torque is applied by the energy source, and it releases stored energy when the energy source is not applying torque.
Also, what does a flywheel puller do?
A flywheel puller is a tool used to separate the flywheel from the taper on the crankshaft. This is a double-ended flywheel puller. It has different sized thread patterns on either end, allowing it to be used in two different kinds of flywheels.
