Perhaps this can turn into an good INFORMATION THREAD. As these engines get older and parts get more scarce this could be a good resource. My point for doing this is that I was doing some research trying to identiy the flywheel I just put on 717 Engine. I was not very confident on what I found in my searches. I'd really like to find a document or site where one could identify the flywheel type and application by the numbers are markings on the Flywheel. I'll put some numbers here as a start. Perhaps this might help someone.
I had a spare 717 so I removed the mag cover and checked the numbers on that engine. 032000-8420 VC150 9PX (this engine as a 4 wire plug for the mag)
The 717 engine I just assembled I installed a flywheel with this number 032000-8420 VC150 10QY (this engine has a 4 wire plug)
I have a 657X engine with a 5 wire plug. I'm not positive but fairly sure this is the correct flywheel for the engine. The numbers are 032000-8000 VC139 2PX ( 5 wire connection on this magneto)
I have flywheels from other engines I will compare and post the numbers when I have time. Hopefully some knowledgeable individuals can provide some guidance.
Hope this helps.
