Re: flywheel again!
There are appr. 10 different flywheels / stators for 6v crank.

First, you need to have a complete set of the same brand.
For example, the Hitachi and Mitsibushi condensators aren't interchangeable.

Second,the flat Hitachi can only be replaced with a flat Hitachi (no retarding / advancing Mechanism) (Short crank tap)
(used on some ST50, z50a, cf50, ST70)



All others are for use with a long chrankshaft tap. Hitachi, Nippon Denso, Mitsibushi,...
(used on al models). Can be retarding, unrestricted or advancing.
