Hey guys. Well, I have a bunch of take out motors for a 350X. Some I stole the stator off, some the head to be ported and other miscellaneous parts to get 4 or so all complete and a couple for parts.
There are 2 different stators and I know the difference in them, I can spot it a mile away.
However, maybe in 2014, I couldn't get my 350X to run for Trikefest and actually had to leave it home!! So, I don't know EVERYTHING,
Here is the deal; 1 flywheel will fit over BOTH the 85 and 86 stator. But the one that doesn't match that stator will give spark, just not enough.
And I fooled the hell outta me. I was stumped for a month!! I finally thought about it and sure enough it fired 1st kick; But I wasn't smart enough to mark it right then and there. I am building a 350X new take out right now for the 2017 NEEDT series. The flywheel cover is off and the stator in there is an 86. But remember, both flywheels fit over that stator which is bolted to the cover and I can't spot the right flywheel because they both fit.
I don't enjoy stealing parts from these motors, but some of these motors had a cracked cylinder fin or cut stator wires so I don't run that junk and sometimes it's just a necessity....
So, 1, You 350X guys should all be aware of the nightmare that can cause!!
And 2, I am asking if anyone can spot an 85 or 86 flywheel by their markings or inside diameter so I know which is an 85, and which is an 86 flywheel. Verbal descriptions will work but a picture of 1 next to the other would be fantastic!!
I have both, but I don't want to pull off a take out motors gasket just to see which one it is.
If anyone can say, "this is an 85 fly" and "this is an 86 fly", it will help me out and others will learn to never make the same mistake. Post up the stators to help others if you wish, but as I said, I can spot that difference with ease.
Thank you for any help......
