Where my finger is u think is the fly wheel seem to be very wobbly and along with clutch bell both are the same as my ts4n

Can any say what the problem is with it I'm uploading a vid to youtube in a mine

Don't I feel sorry for her as she really wanted this

I feel 60 for it is a bit of a rip off

It cam with two shells mustang and e86 also a set of used drift tyre

The fuel was thick as he'll and very yellow

But it does run but screams due to the fly wheel I think

Also has quite a bit of rust on few parts

the rest looks good tho just a good tidy up

So I'm gonna give it a good clean with ear buds either tonite or tomozz

Has have all ok at these flywheel and clutch bell

And need to know what part number is the ruined spur gear

Seems like a run till it dies approach from the previous owner.

Might be a collet that is worn / screw loose.

 

Strip and rebuild - I'm sure if she was interested originally, she'll love it when it works perfectly!

(or you will anyway!!  :tomato:  :whistling:

I can't understand half the things your saying, go read your eBay listing and if it's not as sold see if your buyer would accept a return for refund, bear in mind you might be out the return postage.

Ahh sorry I kinda get ahead of my self at times

I'll see how bad the fly wheel is then ill speak to gf mate and see what she wants to do.

If need be ill ask him for part refund if I can.

But why would he send two different crystals?

I've put up a thread with my vid of the wobble up let me know if you think the car is worth 60 pounds

your missing a screw from the carb aswell to adjust the lsn hsn 

no he isnt, thats a old carb screw that you dont need a screw driver for, my old kyosho has the same kind. they were popular on the old small blocks, when he turns it it with notch a lil on the metal pressing against it look closely, it is how it should be.

Why would it scream when started tho ?

I started the car earlier to see if it runs and it goes strict to high revs with out me push up ok the controls

And it don't even move

i have a collet for it and the spur you need is a 47T i should think.

the car runs 43/47 it looks like someone has taken the engine off and had a play without knowing a thing.

 

edit:

 

your car was suppose to be single geared acording to this manual:

my guess would be the guy took the engine off etc and put the running gear of a 2 speed on it and botched it up.
