Question--- I recently pulled the flywheel from my 6 hp johnson....surprised to find the magnetos all have green paint on them. Is this ok or should I take some steel wool to clean this surface as it is the surface that the flywheel connects with.<br /><br />Anyone know the purpose of the green paint? Weathering protectant or ????<br /><br />Thanks!!

Elvis156,<br /><br />The green paint is corrosion protection.<br /><br />The flywheel should never actually touch the magnets. Maganatism is not detered by paint.
