im glad to hear your up and runnin well, my evader has been nuthing but problems since i got it 2 weeks ago,, engine wont idle. have to keep finger on the gas all the time, even when i give it alot of gas and then ease up it lets you know that if you dont keep holin the gas its gunna die,, i tried many numerous settings on the carb,, tank is sealed,lines have clamps on them, , yesterday after lookin it over the clutch bell seemed weird,i could wiggle it alot but it would still have enough bite for the spur gear,, so yes sure enough the e clip,, and a bearing and maybe something else came off,, when u put the bearing on the shaft b4 u put the eclip on is there like a spacer to hold the bearing in?? because it looks like it would just turn out and rub against the eclip,, does anyone figure this could be my problem why it wont idle at all without some throttle?

GT sounds like you should look at your clutch to start.
Evader, it should fine? Do you have it set right? as per the manual? I have my friends and it idles ok but now the piston and sleeve are shot ofter 5-6 runs. Is it new? set it to manual settings and then take off air filter(be careful they are fragile and tear) look down into the carb and make sure it is open enough. 1.5 mm should be good. Also make sure your glow plug is really glowing bright red. See if that helps.

That is your clutch bell and yes it is supposed to turn freely with the engine idling. What happens is when your engine revs higher it put force on the clutch shoes, which then apply presure on your clutch bell. The clutch bell turns the spur gear.

I dont know what the problem is, I dont know if it's the clutch, clutch shoes, differential or even my motor but it isnt rolling, everything is spinning right, but when I give it gas, it doesnt go anywhere, it just sits there and revs, what's the probelm fellas?

The clutch bell can always move freely. (of course it also has to turn the spur). Try tightening up your slipper clutch, and make sure the spur and bell are meshed correctly.

erm.... maybe u should take it to ur LHS then... or read ur intruction manual.
Ur clutch-bell is where the engine feeds the gearbox, that metal looking spur gear next to ur flywheel. inside that is ur clutch
