Once again, T-Mike hits it out of the park with his great videos. I've learned more about classics from T-Mike then I learned at Marine Tech School. Mike, If you need free labor for a week, I'm your man. Would be worth the trip to learn from the master.

Great description of how to measure the magnet strength Mike.

[@iScootToronto]

Man your needed my fine sir,cause everyone else sucks at explaining things.I wish you live nearby to fix my old baby

[@Jakeeddie32]

39 but not measured at the same spot as the others. I like the idea of adding magnets though. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@simon_hawk5758]

This is great! But I am a novice, how do you know which is magnetic north!?

[@curtisballer688]

Useful information as everyone of T-Mike’s videos appreciate the time/effort!!

My 1958 10hp Evinrude Sportwin flywheel was hardly throwing enough spark to ignite the fuel. I attached 2 small neodymium magnets inside those 2 holes behind the magnets and now its throwing sparks that arc over an inch and cranks much easier.

[@gunfisher4661]

But that causes another issue it puts the flywheel out of balance and it will cause the bearings to wear badly. But maybe its not enough to hurt it in the short long run.

[@roxxerface]

@@gunfisher4661 well it turns out the rings had lost alot of compression and that was the whole reason it was so hard to start. Replaced it with a 73 Johnson 20 horse. Got it for 300$ has over 130 psi on both cylinders

[@Daniel76114]

Great Information !

[@Drottninggatan2017]

I think you can recharge the magnet by simply putting it on a motor and go down the Bayou. When you come back you should be up there in the Teslas.

[@victorremick9721]

Pretty cool thank you

[@gunfisher4661]

How long does a recharge hold up ? Is it worth it maybe yes I guess as you can`t buy new fly wheels. That`s puts a thought in my head can you lets say rebuild a fly wheel?

[@edgarlowe6476]

This is really cool T-Mike had no idea you could test a flywheel like that , let alone recharge it. Question: did you ever go back a few days or months later to see if it held ? Just wondering if it did drop down. If it would be a good idea to charge it up high expecting a drop to hit that 42 spot ?

[@michaeljsimon]

No did not check later.

[@edgarlowe6476]

Just curious. If you still have it. Test it and drop me a number. When you get the time. Would be interested to know. Thanks.

[@danielrobert7181]

Hey, merci mon ami ! It would be great if you revisited a recharged flywheel after it would have sit for some time on a shelf and more importantly after let's say 5 hours of use. Also, does anyone out there know of OMC's specs on those ?

[@curtisballer688]

I would be interested in what the factory numbers are/should be for our curiosity/interests
