Briggs Flywheel Question

[dvdriz 16]

I was able to break off the magnet from the flywheel on my Briggs 14HP engine by using stupidity instead of the correct tools. I have a couple of flywheels that have magnets that look like they would fit this. Are the magnets removeable and replaceable or am I in trouble? I plan to switch over to a coil ignition system but I think it will be very out of balance unless I fix this. Any ideas? [img]/club2/attach/dvdriz/flywheel.jpg[/img]

The speed these things turn I'd be afraid to chance a repair. I'd change the flywheel and use that one as a weight.

Hi, Not advisable to try. Could be very dangerous. Plus they are balanced after all the magnets are installed. AL Eden

I wouldn't use that flwheel,you can never get the polarity right if you try to put the magnets back and like everyone said I wouldn't want to be around if it let go.Later Jim
