I started the breakin on my tornado bb and my clutch bell has turned blue. it was not going over 1/4 throttle. I have the s30 also and don't want to start the breakin on that one until i know whats going on any help out there???
 
what color was is? Black? does your car idle? do the wheels turn at idle? We need more info, just throwing this out there but check your clutch shoe spring make sure it isn't broken. If it is then replace it, dont try and fix it. But either way give us more info and let us know what is happening.
 
I'm getting a tornado s-30 for christmas, ill see if mine does the same, i may be able to help in a few days.
 
hi when I started it up for the first time it was running wide open I had to pinch the fuel line to get it stopped, fixed that run one tank at idle second tank around the yard at 1/4 throttle up an down , I was getting ready for the #3 tank an saw the clutch smoking half of it was burnt blue.thanks
 
Wow you serious?!?
My mates did the exact same thing!! Turned it off and the clutch was smoking. It was never fixed but it never posed a problem. Its still going to this day
