I guess it is the charging fly wheel (please let me know the correct name).As you can see it has rust on it. Now am I going tohave to replace it. If so I seen some expensive ones out there. Should I go with one of those light weight models?

Ok I can up load pic. CAn you tell me how to do that too.

I wouldn't run that crank, but just clean up the flywheel it will work.

I would clean up the flywheel .. as long as the teeth , key way , taper , and magnets are ok ,, surface rust will clean up

Ditto to both of the above. I would check that crankshaft VERY closely. There is noticeable rust on it...

LOL yeah I going to replace the crank mmmmmmm top end mmmmm and a few more stuff too. In fact I think I am going the route of getting the entire engine from SBT. Ok The stator I have also had some rust like the flywheel. Should i replace that too?

That flywheel will take you five minutes to make it all shiny again. The crank...trade it in as a core maybe?
