I've got a beast VH-L1 i bought this car last week and have broken in the engine then all of a sudden after a little bump it stalled. Ever since the problem i have had is that when i start the engine the car wants to move and will not go in to netrual without stalling. I need to take it of the floor to start it as the wheels turn when i pull the starter. When it starts if i try to put it back down it stalls or if i give it gas it shoots off. Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have a clutch problem. Rotate the bell, and see if it moves freely. If not, there's a problem in there. Take it apart and check the shoes. Also check the alignment between the clutch bell and the spur gear.

when i turn the bell it turns so far then its a little stiff and i hear the piston in then engine. is it ment to do that or should it spin 360 with ease

If you're turning the flywheel, it's normal. If you're turning the clutch bell, you have a problem in there. The bell itself should spin freely with no resistance till the clutch shoes engage at higher RPMs.
The CB will be the part with the gear teeth on it. Just spin that part. Let us know.

when i turn the bell the flywheel is turning also. so i guess I've gotta get in there?
Oh and thanks for your quick responses

Yep, you've got a clutch rebuild ahead of you.

It could also be a seized bearing, but yes, you have to break it down to find the problem. Keep us posted.

Hi i stripped it down, the clutch shoes were in tatters. I have replaced them with new ones and all is well. It was alot of work getting the bell loose from them they had seemed to infused themselfs. I would like to thank you for your help ;-)
