3004142 FLYWHEEL MAGNETO 71CC VIPER

Genuine Eskimo 3004142 Flywheel Magneto for 71cc Viper® Engines

Restore the power and reliability of your Eskimo ice auger with the Genuine Eskimo 3004142 Flywheel Magneto. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is specifically designed for Eskimo's powerful 71cc Viper® two-stroke engines, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring your auger's ignition system to factory specifications. If you're experiencing starting issues, a weak or non-existent spark, or intermittent engine performance, a faulty flywheel magneto is often the culprit. This part is the core component responsible for generating the electrical pulse needed to fire the spark plug.

Product Overview

The flywheel magneto is a critical, dual-function component in your small engine. As a flywheel, its weighted, balanced design stores rotational energy from the engine's combustion stroke, providing the momentum needed to ensure smooth and consistent operation between power cycles. The integrated fins on its circumference also act as a fan, drawing air over the engine's cylinder to aid in cooling.

As a magneto, it is the heart of your auger's battery-free ignition system. Powerful permanent magnets are precisely embedded within the flywheel. As the flywheel spins, these magnets pass by the ignition coil (stator), inducing a powerful electrical current. This current is then timed and sent to the spark plug, creating the high-voltage spark necessary to ignite the fuel-air mixture.

• The engine is very difficult to start.

• The spark is weak or intermittent.

• The engine runs erratically or cuts out after warming up.

• Visible damage to the flywheel, such as cracked fins or damaged keyway.
