anyone know what coz this ???my bearing are okie

ps:now every tank i use, i have to check that pinion if not , i start engine it will move by itself like 1/10 of trottle speed...
Check these : you have tire rolling problem on starter box , right ?

clutch gap = the difference between clutchbell and clutch shoe. They should be very close but not yet touching. How to do it ? Use some shims before the inside clutchbell bearings. Keep adding shims until the clutchbell spin freely. <---- I think your problem is here

end play = the play on horizontal axis ( clutchbell axis movement towards thrust bearing ). The play should be kept minimum by adding shims between the thrust bearing and the thrust bearing locknut. Spin your clutchbell again at this point.

Centax spring = Mugen Super Hard Silver or Kyosho Super Hard Black.

Centax spring tension = twist the centax spring locknut until 0.9mm deep. Not enough tension ( 0.5mm ) will engange the clutch too early.... causing a bogging effect ( lame acceleration ). Very high tension ( 1.2mm ) will cause your engine scream crazy while the car is not accelerating fast enough due to clutchbell slipage.
