Additional information

This engine flywheel baffle mounts near the flywheel and guides airflow across the engine to help manage heat. Part number 951-11102 works with the flywheel and surrounding shrouds to keep cooling air moving where it is needed.

If the baffle is cracked, bent, or missing, airflow around the engine can become uneven. This may lead to higher operating temperatures, overheating during extended use, or debris buildup around the flywheel area.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting installation to prevent accidental engine startup. The flywheel area can have sharp edges and tight clearances, so handle the baffle carefully and wear work gloves if needed.
