Wheels don't spin

[maddmike]

Help! I took out the engine yesterday to put on new clutch springs but need piston stopper and went to put back in and the wheels don't spin. How do you adjust the center diff mesh cause that's the problem I think cause I removed to get fuel tank out to dye blue and gears seem tight.

You don't need a piston stopper, just coil some rope into the cylinder. Does the same thing. Did it bind before you removed the fuel tank? The dogbone could be binding. Make sure it's not hitting anything.

Got it apart now and don't seem like nothings is hitting and what's the best way to put engine back in do you tighten 5 bolts in certain order and do u gotta adjust anything

I always just tighten the 3 in the gear plate first then the 2 at the bottom.

Alright thank you

I'm tryin the shoe string as piston stopper and I feel really dumb cuz I can't get the dang spark plug loose

 

[rcspeedmart]

Did you use the tool that came with it? Just slide it over the spark plug and stick the pole in and turn.

 

[maddmike]

I am and it's not turning like it was put in 2 tight

Try a little WD-40 and see if that helps.

It doesn't really matter how you tighten it. Just make sure you put those two aluminum engine spacers back under the fan cover.
