IS YOUR O.S.18cv-r....HARD TO CRANK.

[Monkey Wrench]

Is this kind of along the same lines as San Diego being German for whale's vagina?

 

[strong]

Don't know but now I have a serious question.......Why is my car now making a squeeling noise and jumping forward when I crank it.

sounds likeyour clutch is messed up. pull the clutch bell off and make sure the shoes are ok. you may have also fried a clutch bell bearing or two.

onder2:sounds like the sphincterdoodle spring is bad and locking to the muffler bearing












:jk:


on a more serious note ,it maybe your clutch spring broke and is hitting your clutch bell
and is it running when it is doing this or just when you pull the cord?

 

[strong]

Yes ....it's when it's just sitting and idling.......and I pulled the clutch bell and the bearing looks good....... but can it still be bad.

There should be two bearings... at least on most clutches. They may be dry (no oil), but it sounds like you have a bearing grabbing on you somewhere.

Took the clutch bearing off and re-lubed it........put it back on and everything seems to be working fine again.......think I will order a new one just in case......thanks for the help.....gotta stop spending so much time with this car.....haven't flew my planes in over two weeks........I think I'm hooked.
