this old girl gave up its life today in honour of electric start r&d.....it was a shagged crank i had lying around out of my 87 kxt250 tecate....the seal area was rusty .....im using the shaft to machine the flywheel hub on so it stays as true as posible.....2 mins of silence for the poor old girl please
ylwgtr:
the old KX500 flywheel also copped it ....ive removed the hub and machined off the flange
ylwgtr:
im going to bore this bad boy out next....i will machine the hub down with a stopper step on it and bore the flywheel to receive the hub,put a nut and a bolt in the centre to hold it put while i drive the TIG over it

Hey mate. I so look forward to your updates! Round of applause to you for the level of commitment you have shown. I can't wait to hear about the first test and how it goes when you press the button.
Love your work!

How did the taper compare? How hard would it have been to rework the taper to match the KX 500? I don't have a ktm flywheel to compare. Keep up the great work!
