Broken balance wheel? Is this really common?

[whatching]

Curios because my offshore stopped the other day, brought it to a local tech, just to see if something minor just had to be fixed. Got it done in less than 5mins. Been running well until now.

Then I get a text from them that my balance wheel is broken and it has to be replaced, cleaning or general service cannot fix it - also quoting me much higher than apsc general servicing would charge!

I find the broken balance wheel opinion odd. As far as I know these seldom break, if any, some re alignment or cleaning should be fixes to this. If I’m wrong please correct.

If anyone has encountered or been diagnosed with broken balance wheels (wherein only option is to change to a new one) kindly chime in.

Thanks all.
