try pull the clutch shoes outwards. (not away from the flywheel) but outwards. as if they were engaging. (you know how the clutch works right?)

the only reason for it lunging forward is if the clutch shoes are engaging to spin the clutch bell. are you sure you serviced the clutch shoes? to make sure they are tight on the pins and none are damaged (springs ect). the clutch shoes should be tight against the shaft. you should not be able to pull them out. only g-force can do that

Okay, thanks.

MT2 RTR:

I've got another problem: About two weeks ago I posted some pics up of my melted clutch bell gear. I'm not sure what caused it, but it broke. I've bought a replacement racing clutch bell, but here's my problem: I've taken the engine out, attached the new clutch bell, and just to check things over I've pulled the pull-start but the clutch bell is spinning as I do this - Should it spin?

Just as my car broke a few weeks ago, when I went to start it the car lunged forward as I tugged on the pull start. As I pulled on the pull start, the wheels span. Now, at the time I noted that this was probably because my clutch bell was broken, but now (with the engine out), the (new) clutch bell STILL appears to be turning as I pull on the pull start. I'm completely confused. Surely the clutch bell shouldn't turn, as this is going to turn the spur gear too, thus turning the wheels?

Help!

I didn't know what I was looking for with the clutch shoes, but the shoes themselves appear fine. It looks as though I should order some new springs just incase this is the problem.
