Flywheel instead of propeller

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 13 years ago
Hi all
Has anyone made ​​a flywheel for rotax 912
I want to start and adjust the carburetor, etc. without the propeller.
Does anyone have a drawing or data to produce one.

    Do not use a flywheel. You will over speed the engine with little throttle. The prop puts load on the engine. A fly wheel does not. You could use a dynamometer if one was available, and adjust the load to simulate a prop, but that's very expensive and complicated.
