flywheel

The scoot is almost complete bar the annoyingly basic problem of an aftermarket flywheel not fitting on the crank. I purchased a 12v CDI kit thinking that the electronic ignition route would be the way to go, and would also aid the addition of 12v bits. However, the brains at ScootRS that sold me the kit figure that all VBC 150s are the same. So now im chasing a solution that might conclude with a butchered frankenwheel using the old centre on the new outer. Bar that, does anyone know how to get the outside legshield beading on without destroying it?

I had the same problem with my scoot's flywheel from ScootRS. In the end we cut a new keyway in order to get it to fit, rather than get a new crank.

Once you get it on, the 12V system works great, but it's not as easy as the ScootRS people make out. Not by a long shot.

Tell me about it!
The taper is different on my old flywheel so I would be needing to enlarge the 12v flywheel and do a new keyway. That was UNTIL I found out that the new flywheel isnt centred properly anyway!

I've got my engine, the new flywheel and my old flywheel sitting at a machine shop waiting for the guy to have the balls to drill and remove the centres from the flywheels and align the old centre into the new flywheel (and make sure that it all balances nicely).

I think ill give him a call now and see where he's at with it.

Dammit I need the 12v for the air horns and the under body neons! :)
