If you lose weight from a fly wheel you lose some torque
But would this help it pull away quicker as got more momentum ie knitic energy ?The heavier flywheel's momentum also makes the engine less willing to change revs quickly.

No wrong way around. A LIGHTER flywheel will help you pull away more quickly because less force is required to turn it, a heavier flywheel is more beneficial when cruising along at a steady speed because of the momentum it carries,
so if im pulling away in say 3rd gear would it not be best for a heaver one ?No wrong way around.

I will only having 1 gear but two engines ?It would be best not to move away from rest in third gear at all. If gears 1 and 2 were surplus to requirements they woudln't be there.

will be making a centrfugal clutch out of some rear break drums/shoesI suggest you set up a direct debit to pay for the clutch parts
If using that type of clutch and have a heavy flywheel, the clutch will not take long to fall to piece as there is more weight for the force of the clutch to move and there for even a centrefugal will slip if the weight is too great. But to give you an idea of what a light weight did to my car, was it increased the 0-60 by over 0.7 seconds which for a £350 upgrade isn't bad at all. The revs fly up now which on a V6 torquey engines is mad lol.
