Some time back there was mention in this group that these engines will
not run without the flywheel effect of lawn mower blades etc.


'These' as in normal one-lung vertical-shaft motors, or Harbor Freight
motors, specifically?

Lots of verticals are used in pulley take-off setups, where the only
'flywheel' is a little steel or pot metal vee-belt pulley. They seem to
work just fine. Although you might not realize it, there's a substantial
flywheel on the motor, as it comes.

MANY direct drive rotary mower engines had a "low mass" flywheel and
would not start or run under about 2000rpm with the blade
disconnected.
I found this with tecumseh engines but not with B&S
