I don't necessarily think that too Light of a flywheel causes a vibration, -but more of a driveability issue. Maybe this is where there is confusion? For example, our race cars have almost 15:1 compression and have no flywheel per se', so they do not idle smoothly however the engine does not have any noticeable vibrations.
