My information on the other PSRUs (Ross and Tracy's) is that you must
use an
automatic tranny flywheel, probably for the starter position relative to
the
flywheel. However, Tracy had indicated to me you just change out the
flywheel, no counterweight problem. Sooo, just guessing here, if the
Marcotte
used the std tranny flywheel, just change it out. This make sense?

I'm a bit confused.  I thought all 20B's were equipped with auto
transmissions.  If so, keep the counterweight and use any auto flexplate
which fits you application.
