mercury ,evinrude, Suzuki, yamaha, tohatsu, not one of their engine designers knew about making the flywheels lighter hey, how strange !!!
they all just put on great big heavy flywheels for nothing.

if only they had known what they were doing hey......

I bet the Chinese will love this knowledge, they like to scrimp on stuff,.

Through the year's I have run and seen all kind's of lightened fly wheels on all kind's of outboards some even made like flex plates out of 125 guage aluminum even the starter ring made of aluminum that weigh almost nothing.these flywheels never caused any idle problems at all. I have run a lot of different oil's at extremely high rpm's spraying nitrous and have not had the problems that you are talking about.
