1WT Flywheel Dilemma

[lostan7]

Evening all…
Hope to be put in the right direction with my LCF 1WT PV. My engine came without flywheel or winding’s so thought a wait until one came along would be in order…! Unfortunately these seem to be a rarity… ( Or am I looking in the wrong places.? (Ebay/Breakers mostly)
Already about to return a second one due to being off centre… 😤 Luckily I found a decent windings and ne pick-up. Next the flywheel. I’m finding available ones are usually missing the steel inners or are poorly riveted or put together. So I’m now looking for options to put in the bike…! Guidance from anyone who knows where I can find a decent one or if they can be bought off the shelf (As I don’t have one to exchange..😢)

What about an upgrade to a Power Dynamo ?

Ooohh…! That looks like a nice bit of engineered kit.
And Xmas is getting closer I guess…!
Although that may require a number of different components I’m presuming… Uprated ignition/ coils etc…!! Thanks for the suggestion though…😎
Q. Can you run a rotor without the metal plate inners…? Or is it a job to have another welded in place..?

Hello mate, I've got a 1WT F2 flywheel.
Bought it a couple of years back when I had trouble with my bike but I've never used it.

Not sure what they're worth, pm me if you're interested? 👍

The VAPE system recommended above includes all of the components to replace the entire charging/ignition system. Plus you no longer have to deal with a 40 year old system.

Yes recommend a Vape system and fitted one on the yellow peril




As other have said replaces all the 40 year + electrics and you get a much lighter flywheel too👍

Thanks for the pics and advice/suggestions guys…
Thankfully Gary (Freddie19) has sorted me out with a standard weighted rotor… 🤩 After seeing the massive weight difference I’ll be taking some serious crank considerations to my next engine build…🤔 👍🏼🤓
