I have a Victa Tornado 2 stroke for fixing. The owner said there was a terrible racket for awhile but then it cleared up and he continued mowing until the mower died of over heating. It was actually "hissing" with heat stress. Well compression seems good with the finger over hole test so I am hoping the engine is not damaged. However, the flywheel has lost all it's fins. I guess that was the racket he heard and the reason for the subsequent overheating.
I have another good 2 stroke engine but it is the short shaft and won't fit the tornado, although I could just take the flywheel off it. However, I'd rather keep that engine together.
So, does anybody have a flywheel for sale? This one has the number MA05690A but I think any late model two stroke one would do.
