Flywheel magnet

I heard GB WELD used for this. Clean it VERY/VERY good and be positive in same location as original and turn over by hand to be sure it won't hit stator. Bob M

I have used JB weld before,and it worked.I have also used two part epoxy,and it also works.

When a magnet comes loose inside the flywheel, it can be Super Glued back in place. But first, be sure to thoroughly clean both the flywheel and magnet (use cleaning solvent or paint thinner to dry out any oily residue), and make sure that the poles of the magnet(s) are in the right postion. North-South-North-South-North-South-North, etc. To find which poles are north and south on the loose magnet, tie a string around the center of the magnet and allow it to dangle in mid-air. The poles will attract to the natural magnetic poles of the Earth. Then write on the magnet which poles are which. Then, when installing the magnet in the flywheel, be sure the poles are opposite of each other. If they attach, it's in the right position.

I think that I would put a bit of paint onto the side of that magnet just so I knew down the road, that was the one I refastened. Maybe you will never have a magnet come loose again but if you do, it would be nice to know to a certainty that it was not the one you dealt with previously.

Just saying....... :trink:
