Brief Description:  Replace the Flywheel

Plans:
1. Replace the flywheel (part 2).
Status: Complete. After being unable to crank the engine yesterday I found bolts from the reduction drive were obstructing the flywheel from turning. I removed the reduction drive and cut the bolts shorter. After assembly everything worked fine. A photo of the flywheel shows where the bolts were impacting. A small hole is provided to witness the starter gear engagement. Aeromomentum recommended using a 0.020 wire to set the spacing. When I measured the spacing before disassembly it seemed as though the gap was much larger. Not knowing why I elected to set the spacing the same way I found it. It seems to work fine.
2. Reassemble the cowl and prop components.
Status: Complete. Everything is back together with a slight improvement. Previously I noted that the prop bolts were a little long. I trimmed off a few threads before putting things back together.
