Looper Shutdown with a rattle noise

[reelapeelin]

Another source of a rattling noise could be magnets coming loose under the flywheel...but that would not explain low compression...Ferm's probably right...as usual

140's didn't suffer this problem as the magnets in them are encased into the flywheel(not epoxied like the 35 amp flywheels), unless somebody installed a 35 amp V6 style charging system.

Didn't know that re the V-4s...yer right...it did happen on my V-6

well you can still have a 140 with loose magnets, i have a pair of 140's that both have the 35 amp system and had to re-glue the magnets. never seen them on any 120 / 140 except a 25 inch motor, i've never seen them on a short shaft even though the manual says they made them.

The sea-drives all had the 35 amps systems as well, but not many 120/140's did. I've considered finding a blown V-6 and swapping the stator and flywheel over to my 140 to get the higher output charging system. The factory charging system on the early V4 loopers SUCKS! I got a whopping 1.3 amps at idle, and 3.6 amps at 3500. 5000 got me up to 6.3 and 6100 got me 8.56 amps(I guess just enough to call it a 9 amp system). This was with a new stator and rectifier.

you can't install a V6 flywheel on a V4 been there and the 35 amp V4 has a smaller flywheel and the V6 will not clear the starter nor the carbs, you must use a V4 35 amp set up


hey post us a pic of your flywheel so we can see which you have. and the pistons and cylinders look fine um will it turn by hand and if so any tight spots?
