flywheels need sorting

as you can see i just bought the duetz, the paintwork is good, but flywheels dont look the best what can i do to bring them up

Sorry Ryan, :wtf: but i thought it was your wifes engine :hidesbehindsof , leave her alone to do it herself and you get them dishes washed :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

but this engine is a beast and she needs the help :hysterical:

I am sure she can handle it, she has you sorted :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

Ryan,

Go down to the place at Portreath and buy an abrasive flap wheel. (think I used a 240 grit one).

Fix it in your drill, and that fly wheel will come up like a new penny.

I think they are approx £8, and they last for ages. (saves on the old elbows)

Thats what I used on my Flywheels, works a treat without having them skimmed.

regards

Mart.

Ryan ,Good old wire brush while running then some emery cloth.
then still while running brasso on a rag, then polish off.
stop engine polish with grate black leave to dry .
Polish off you have a great finish no oil or grease everywere and the dirt dont stick to it
this last for about 3 months then you just black it again.
All my engines I do like this

someone said wet and dry while running is this correct????????????

If you want to cover you and the engine in rusty water thats fine :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:
Chris :babe2: Now I could wet and dry this

ill go with the wire brush idea then

sounds like the safer option

jonesy's idea could get you into trouble

nice thought thou chris

be very very careful with wire brushing flywheels, because you are subjecting the wire brush to high speed motion, they risk flying apart dead easy, they arent like cup brushes, they are not designed for that kind of work and the wires will fly everywhere, including your skin

best thing to do is progrssively finer grades on wet and dry, though just use it dry with some (moist lol) soap on, much safer so long as you keep your hands away from and trapping points

before after

the smears on the flywheels are just a little oil i put on

Ryan, i see you have found the hopper drain or have you had a quick pee in the corner and it's run under the engine :hysterical: :hysterical:

and forgot to put the plug back in
