Can anyone tell me whether a Johnson CD (5 1/2 hp) and a late 50’s RD (25 hp) are the same? I need a ‘heavy’ flywheel for a Frankenstein CD I’m working on. I know it won’t fit under rewind or cover……that’s ok.
Thanks for any info!

I say "pardon me" a lot. I had a 20H, then raced open mod sleds.
Although it would be beyond my abilities, a shrink fitted steel band, perhaps cut from a piece of pipe and machined to size, would add that all-important rim weight.

Frank’s right….sort of. I’m trying to cheat up a motor for a"’How Slow Can You Go" idle contest….. Old racers are all the same. In the infamous words of Junior Johnson…"There are two kinds or racers: cheaters and losers…"
As usual…thanks for any input!

This begs a question I’ve had in the past. I have seen numerous conflicting directions on how to install the flywheel key. Some say key face parallel to crank centerline and others say key face parallel to crank taper. I have a copy of an Evinrude service bulletin somewhere that clearly indicated parallel to taper. So which should it be? And does it perhaps differ according to motor HP size?
