While you are at it you may as well discuss whether a heavier flywheel increases torque more than horsepower!
o.k. smarta$$, how much torque does it take to fill a bucket full of crap???
Space, clean out yer PMs mon.
none. why would you fill a bucket, if its already full?
I going to have to show you what an empty bucket looks like... maybe they are rare where you're from :jester:

hey andy, did you ever work for stihl in NZ?
Arrgggghhhhh! It took me months of therapy to get the last remnants of that thread out of my head, now.... help.. somebody make the music stop...

Ah come one. Everyone one knows that a heavier flywheel will make more torque. That's why 18 wheelers are so heavy. Duh.
ha ha ha ha :jester:refer to diesel vs petrol i spoke about earlier...
increasing flywheel mass will increase torque to a point, but its a bellcurve. too much weight and you wont be able to start the engine (exaggerating a bit but you get the point) - so you will end up needing more hp anyway
decrease weight = less torque but faster acceleration. bellcurve again... too light and it stalls. it will have balance issues also.
i could go on, but im bored opcorn: opcorn:
lololol I could even spell Stihl when I first left NZ... 1980 'ish... let alone afford one.

1980... wow.
guess you missed the underarm incedent then. and the rainbow warrior. and the attack on one tree hill (which is now known as none tree hill thanks to some clever tagging).
That's why I put the link in Post #3! but most would rather argue than read :monkey:
Someone PM chowdozer and tell hm there's another torque/power thread....
In any case SAE HP sucks. We need RAC HP. Lot's more people would be torqued-off with the later.
Space has a good handle on things.
Flywheel increasing horsepower/torque?Crofter, quit trying to start a ruckus.
