Hi,

Now that I have your attention perhaps someone with more experience than myself can let me know if this flywheel is safe to use?

I've been reading lots of horror stories on the net about flywheels with broken fins causing total destruction.

This one is on my B&S 170432 Horizontal Shaft. Only the 2 fins that you can see in the picture are damaged. Chipped rather than completely broken off.

Someone has obviously been in here before and I suspect they broke the fins when removing the flywheel.

I'd appreciate any opinions.

Thanks
