The flywheel is a fairly large wheel that is connected to the
crankshaft. It provides the momentum to keep the crankshaft turning
without the application of power. It does this by storing some of the
energy generated during the power stroke. Then it uses some of this
energy to drive the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons during
the three idle strokes of the 4-stroke cycle. This makes for a smooth
engine speed. The flywheel forms one surface of the clutch and is the
base for the ring gear.
