<p>I noticed it on track at 5600 rpm because it foamed the fuel in
the float bowl, not because I actually felt it.</p>

On my street TR4A, the harmonics came in about 2800 RPM and again
at 5600 RPM.

<p class="MsoNormal">The weight of the flywheel will
definitely affect the harmonic frequency. The heavier
the flywheel, the lower the harmonic frequency will be.
The flywheel contributes a significant amount to the
total rotating inertia due to its weight and that the
weight is at greater radius than the other rotating
masses. Inertia increases as the square of the radius.
It is not a linear function of the radius.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An RPM of 5200 was mentioned as the
harmonic resonance. I had always heard that it was more
like 6300 RPM. I have never seen a calculation for it.
It would be complex. Note that lighter pistons and
connecting rods would tend to lower the harmonic
frequency as they would reduce the inertia in the
engine.<o:p></o:p></p>
