first drama...

Postby buhdds » Sat Jul 24, 2010 9:22 pm

so i run in the engine on the searover in open flat concrete. gr8 spot better for on rd. then had a bit of a play still havn't gone full throttle yet, but was runnin it on short grass and concrete. i was bout half way thru tank steered off concrete onto grass and it just stalled mysteriously. i noticed it had lost pressure and no fuel in the lines. which was weird coz it didn't flip or anything n wasn't that rough on grass. what would cause this?
secondly when i first got it the left rear wheel wudn't tighten properly bcoz the pin in the hub wasn't centered. so i had to knock it with a bit of force using support underneath as 2 not damage anything so that worked and run it in with no drama but after the stalling incident at idle on block the same wheel is no longer spinning properly and wobbles quite a bit. also at idle on the block all wheels move simultaneously except this 1 which is intermitted. have i done the diff already? or what? mayb limited slip? but why wud it wobble like its no longer aligned properly? i have pulled it off and put it back and same problem. wud it just need a shim to fix? i didn't wanna run it with the prob b4 i knew more bout it. all opinions would be gr8.
im hoping 2 make it down on sun for the race meet and become a member. if all is well i wudn't mind a run on the track(not race) at sum stage soon as well.

Some grass might have caught and stopped the fflywheel. It happened to me before when I had a hsp bohemoth. It may be too lean? As Tev said, we would have to see it. A few of us will be down there tomorrow at about 1.30pm. We might be able to sort you out.

not exactly sure what 2 look for if it is damaged... it doesn't feel like the diff coz if i spin the wheel itself it has the same play and movement as the other rear. just at idle/little throttle off the ground it wobbles when it does spin or doesn't spin at same rate as other 3.
