Took two months to get the thing to the point it was starting, and running reliably.
Several weeks to get it to even start, then after that it was a whole saga to get it tuned.
Then several weeks to get it to shift into second gear. It kept shedding the clutch adjustment screw. Then when I fixed that issue from happening and it was finally reliably shifting into second gear. Then the tires were worn and it wouldn't grip so I replaced those. Then I bent a prop shaft.
Then after I fixed that with beefier shafts the ceramic brake disk got worn completely round so that even with the brake disk locked the c cup could still spin freely.
I've just fixed that with a metal brake disk and now I'm wondering what is the next issue that will reveal itself?! I get round one road block and then there's another massive one.
I've noticed the revs starting to fluctuate just before gear change so I'm guessing some issue related to that will suddenly reveal itself next.
Just once I'd like a session to end when I'm finished driving, not when the car breaks!
Is this the normal nitro experience?
