if your flywheel is spinning but the trucks not moving sounds like the clutch is stuck. You'll have to take the engine out, take the clutch bell off and check the clutch shoes. Make sure they spring out and back in again. Is the spur gear spinning when you apply throttle?

if the engine is firing but the flywheel is not moving could be the small metal collar that goes between the flywheel and crank. Clutch and bell off and check that the nut that holds the flywheel on is tight.

To be honest with you i have no experience with these things, but yea the engine fires fine and the wheel on the bottom spins, just wont go into gear.
