Hi Guys
Please bear with me on this as a fair bit has happened to my car and will try to be as clear as noob can
1-problems started when I fuelled up set all factory settings on the carb,made sure trim on handset was right and the throttle idle was 0.5-1mm.
Fired it up and was running fast so adjusted the idle to a nice idle then out of the blue it screams it head off to full rpm,
I double checked everything again even carb settings,got the excess fuel from the engine and started it again,it idled for a few seconds and then went to full rpm screaming it's head off,I killed and again checked and checked the car.
Then I discovered the blue plastic spur gear (fitted to my eb4-s2.5)..was stripped and chunks out of the thread!!
How the hell did that happen??..any ideas would be welcome,
I only tried to start it and had only previously used my rc for a grand total of 10mins
I've ordered a new one and have stripped the car ready,not as hard as I thought but I no setting it properly takes a bit of time but I will do it..
MY MAIN CONCERN
Turning the engine over (with glow plug fitted) doesn't feel right now,it's hard to explain but it feels a bit stiffer on the pull cord and when it's gone from TDC there is usually a smooth transition to BDC but it feels stiff,
Also noticed that when I slowly pull on the cord the main flywheel does not turn as I've marked BDC to help aid cooling when/if I ever get to use the car...by my finger I can turn the engine over clockwise but it doesn't like it anticlockwise...
Also the thing that goes onto the flywheel that obviously drives the spur gear just spins freely like it's not attached to anything,is that supposed to be free like that??
I've got a bad feeling I've done some internal damage but I just can't work out how the hell the spur gear got munched and after a few seconds it revs it's nuts off!! ,
Any advice on this would be great guys
