Has anyone modified a 126 650 flywheel reduced the weight or is the standard fine for a lightly modified engine.
I am looking for a flywheel if anyone has one please.

Not on a 126, but in the past I have found a lighter flywheel has greatly improved throttle response on small Fords etc. The cheat was to fit a 997cc Ford Anglia flywheel on to the 1500 engine as it cost nothing and the clutch for the 1500 would fit the 997cc flywheel.
The only downside I feel that you may find worse on a two cylinder engine against a four cylinder may be uneven tickover, which the original heavier flywheel absorbs better.:)
A small point you probably already know is if metal is removed from the flywheel it must not be from the area the clutch is bolted to as will affect operating travel of the release bearing etc.
