Default Flywheel? Lose it or Lighten it

I can see this being a stupid question but is the flywheel needed?

Does it balance the engine, does it work with the stator? I haven't pulled it off yet in my rebuild but I was installin the oil pump eliminator and starter eliminator and from what I see the flywheel is a waste of trottle responce. Are there magnets on it? I cannot see but if I should leave it then I will not pull it off since my stator seems to work fine so I would have no use to remove it unless I want to pick up power.

yes there are magnets inside your flywheel that spin around your stator causing a electrical magnetic field which helps your motor obtain spark and electrical current.

ritter cycle litens them up you may want to give him a ring.

obtw the flywheel is a must.

ok flywheel stays, thanks a lot.

I tried emailing Ritter but he didn't get back to me yet, I would like to get a spring kit and the piston and other thing I need for the rebuild off him.
