Drilled flywheel

(I can't remember the site but will look for it)
The Idea was to improve oiling, however there was a substantial amount of holes drilled in the basket.
It may not appear to be much, but with the combination of the flywheel & Basket it should be heading in the right direction.

Dont really lose bottom end per say, its still there, you just lose that weight buffer that keeps you from stalling when you let off the gas and the motor reacts a lot more quickly to changes. Its just a lot more touchy. I have an RD350 engine with the whole flywheel lathed away down to a nub (requires a battery to run!). The builder was scared the generator would fly apart at the revs we built it to run. The crank and clutch basket mean the engine isn't near as bad as you would think. It revs beautifully though :D

Thats a killer idea... I wonder why someone with some patience couldn't do this on their own? For example... Me? lol
