In regards to your engine i think you've done a great job so far and it will be interesting to see how it performs. Are the cranks exactly 180 deg apposed to each other? The only problem i can see is that the timing on the "slave" or "second" cylinder may be out of ignition timing compared to the main one if the cranks aren't exactly opposite each other. You may need to put a mark on the cranks of both cylinders at TDC and use a timing light to set the ignition timing so they are identical.
A solution to the carby throttles may be to fit a pair of walbro's (even reps) and make up some sort of linkage system to the throttle arms. Either that or make a system like dual front brakes where the throttle pulls both cables at the same time.

the cranks are pretty dam close, probably sitting a few minutes away from 180 degrees. although it shouldn't matter too much when it comes to timing, as the whole point of the second flywheel is so i don't have to mount both coils off the one flywheel.
do you know how much postage would be to ACT, 2602?
and, do you have a lathe/does it fit my requirements? (otherwise it wont fit in the engine, as i already have one for the starter side, but the other engines flywheel, needs to sit inside the smallest space you've ever seen)
also, I'm not sure if I've ever seen one of these walbro carbys before, but I'm guessing it has a butterly valve, and is lever operated?
anyway...any help with the flywheel would be excellent, thanks
PS: thanks for the support
