is
evidence of heavy contact on one portion of the wear
circle
and
a very light contact 180° from that portion, the flywheel
may be improperly mounted or
sprung.

case,

housing
with the plunger in
contact
with the wear
circle,

or
ridges. Wipe the friction
surface
of the flywheel with
kerosene,
mineral
spirits
or other
suitable
