Thanks Ado! I had also heard this, but I've gotta say the mounting holes
look to align perfectly. Is your post based on actually trying to install
the flywheel at the incorrect rotation?
The other thing that has me wondering is that I do know that some
replacement flywheels don't come with a TDC mark ... the instructions have
you scribe the flywheel when it is installed.
I'll try crossposting to the big list too ... yours was the first response.
We will try to install the WX flywheel at the offset ... it will be readily
apparent whether or not it works. Right now my only candidate for a proper
flywheel is a two or more day trip away ...
Does anyone on the list have the difference in timing angle between the WX
and the MC? I know I've heard it before, but can't find my notes. It would
be good to have confirmation that the angle difference is the same as 360
divided by the number of mounting holes.

Visually they might look same, but spacing of the flywheel mounting
holes is done in sequence, so that would fit in only one position, hence
the absence of markings or position pin. Repositioning the pin is the
way to go.
