I’ve read before that a keeper of some sort should be placed across the magnet poles when the flywheel is removed for a length of time. Exactly how does that prevent loss of magnetism? Guess I should install something on my ’37 Champion flywheel while I’m still working on the motor restoration and the flywheel is just sitting on the bench.

That’s a good question, but I have no answer!

Prepare to be boarded!
