In this video I've added an Eddy Current Brake in the form of 4, 1" x 1/4" neodymium magnets in a steel frame on the lower back of the flywheel. This creates a drag on the engine by inducing eddy currents in the flywheel which generate a small amount of heat. The extra drag lets me open up the throttle some on the vapor fuel tank resulting in the engine running better and not miss-firing so much.
