Ship it to Bakersfield, I will burn it for you.

Take the flywheel to a machinist with a dividing head. If drilled and pinned properly the balance will be extremely close.

i think thats the best idea.... even though it sucks right now..
isnt that what I already said?
Rather than destroying the ski... why not give it to a young rider that is in need of a ski. I know of numerous young kids who need skis. Just a thought.
You guys must have never felt the frustration of something that just doesnt want to work.
I doubt the guy was serious, but I know what he is talking about.

This is a WDK rev hull with every bolt on mod you can name! I dont think he will be giving it away, he's just being a dink! ( LOL I told you this was gonna happen Steve!!!:drillsergeant::nono:
yes..... it did....
problem started last weekend...
so hit the start button and you can hear the bendix spinning away...
suspected bad bendix.... possible bad battery
fitted new bendix and battery last night.. same problem....
maybe the relay.. swapped it out.. still not firing.. take the plugs out and it will turn over no issue...
checked the ground.. all good
so starter.... new starter... same issue :261:
just happened to have the coupler cover off (in a REV hull its easier to get the battery in and out)... suddenly noticed the coupler doesnt appear to be spinning... sort of rocking back and forward fast... so it looks like its spinning .. again :261: something is spinning....
so for the five millionth time .. tank out.... flywheel cover off... crank it over and watch the bendix... spinning like a whore on crack.... can also see the gears on the flywheel spinning away...
then notice the flywheel isnt.... freaking ring gear is spinning on the flywheel (MSD Lightened flywheel)
:slap:
all the $$ spent on everything that wasnt the issue could have paid for a new flywheel
two weeks before Virginia beach and im left with 4 options
1. Stock Flywheel..... :fart:
2. Total Loss.....:bigeyes:
3. Take my chances on a flea bay lightened flywheel deal :fart:
4. Brand new TBM.... $600 plus roll the dice on it getting the Canada before we leave......
