the engine works and works well....but since that run the Flywheel's thread has disintegrated so the screw no longer hold it onto the shaft....thus the engine will no longer run  any ideas anyone>? |
... I replaced the tiny fly wheel with a larger one. A aluminium tube was inserted over the thread, the big fly wheel is fastened via its little screw on the hub. Works like a charm:

A small blob of supaglue into the flywheel then put it back into the right place and it should be fine.
Happened to my larger flywheel MM2 and now works a treat with supaglue |

... it works great!  There's no difference in speed - and due to the higher mass (it weighs about x3), it doesn't suddenly stop when pressure collapses, but keeps on going gradually until it stops. Oh, by the way: It's the flywheel of my SE3, which I also replaced with a larger one.
