Nope, just to get it started.

I start it with about 50% throttle, let it run a few seconds, then remove the glowstarted and let the revs drop down to idling.

Then, if the idle is set too low it stalls. If I set it to the point where it won't stall, it starts to roll forward (sometimes fast, sometimes slow - not noticed a pattern in this yet...).

Can I really get clutch problems on a brand new car though?

Maybe I'll have to make another visit to the shop...

All the references I can find to the clutch from the specs:

"High performance Teflon clutch shoes"

Everything else in/on the clutch seems to be metal of some sort, and there is a spring around the clutch shoes.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Steve
