🔌 Function

The flywheel stores rotational energy, carries the starter ring gear and passes its magnets over the stator and timer-base components.

Common signs of damage:

• Starter-ring teeth are chipped

• Internal magnets are loose or cracked

• Keyway is damaged

• Flywheel has visible runout

• Taper is fretted

• Charging output is low

• Ignition timing is unstable

• Flywheel rubs the stator

• Corrosion affects the magnet surfaces

Recommended checks before installation:

• Count the ring-gear teeth

• Compare all casting and service numbers

• Inspect the taper and keyway

• Check every magnet for movement

• Inspect the stator and timer base

• Confirm the crankshaft key is undamaged

• Clean mating tapers without lubricant

• Tighten the flywheel nut to the correct specification

• Check charging and ignition output after installation

📦 Condition

• Genuine OMC, Evinrude or Johnson used part

• Pre-owned rotating electrical component

• Paint wear, marks and surface corrosion may be present

• Magnets, keyway and ring gear must be inspected before installation

• Supplied in protective or equivalent packaging
