Description

The flywheel is a heavy metal wheel that connects to the rotating shaft. Its purpose is to help regulate how power is delivered from the motor to the rest of the tool. Its weight and inertia oppose and moderate small changes in the speed of the engine and holds onto that energy for use when needed. The most common problem with flywheels is for them to crack. As the engine begins to age and other parts begin to break down, excess vibration in the engine can cause the flywheel to wear down, grate, and even shatter. The flywheel needs replacing when the motor begins slipping into the wrong gear. The exact steps for replacing the flywheel will depend on the specific model being repaired. It should only require a screwdriver. This is a genuine OEM replacement flywheel assembly for gardening hand tools like leaf blowers, edgers, weed eaters, and hedge trimmers made by Craftsman, Husqvarna, Weed Eater, Poulan, Poulan Pro, Paramount, Turf King. This part ships individually.
