I am having trouble starting my rascal, but it might have been something stupid I did. Also, I have a Peak Racing Diablo engine which I've run 4 tanks since break in, so its pretty new.
Here is where the stupidity comes in, I bought a second rascal off of ebay for 75 bucks which had a two speed on it with thoughts of swapping it. I did and it started fine afterwards. I then wanted to see if it would go into second gear, but instead of going outside, I put it up against a wall and hit the gas. Well, it spinned the tires, but instead of shifting into second gear, the wheels stopped turning and the engine stalled. Since then, I have not been able to start it. I put a new battery into the igniter and put a brand new plug in. The fuel gets into the car. All linkages and tuning was fine before this happened. Did something happen to the clutch and would that cause the car not to start?
