Good questions. I am pretty sure there will not be a problem with the idle. Fortunately, our customers pretty much like the grumpy idle anyway. Every time we reduce the rotational mass the motor seems to just run better. Also, I don't think there will be a problem with durability--we kept the flywheel pretty beefy in the loaded area.
