I am getting a gizmomotors 29.5 long block and will be swapping engine cover over and should I just swap over my clutch case to save some cash for now or get a new one? This 23cc has to go lol

I think you can do it, and later on upgrade [if they are not to worn now].

I was planing on the 30.5 [same price I think] and reusing the stock stuff.

That was before stripping my diff gears and breaking my my plate.

Waiting for the 7075 plate [was in stock] to arrive, and chili belt kit...

I may be interested in one of your mt plates, in the mean time...?

Altho they are saying 12-18" of white crap by Thurs...so I'm not in a hurry.

Re: Long block;

I tried firing my motor today and I snapped a killer rc stainless cable pullstarted I just bought. Idk why it won't turn over. It's so tight unless that's how its suppose to be but I feel something is wrong the only thing I Did mechanically to motor was take off coil to install killer bee. I gapped the coil with a business card and that's the only thing I can think of that's making.it so tight. I have to pull the fan cover and see what the flywheel looks like if the coil is rubbing or what's goin on. Anyone else have any tips. This is my first ported motor aside from my ported top end from esp and with that it still wasn't this tight. Anyone got any areas or things I should start looking at first? Thanks for any help I can get. I just want to make sure this motor is ready for spring.

It shouldn't be that tight. The only time they get real tight is if they are flooded. You could plug the plug out. Give it a pull. It should pull real easy with out the plug. If its still hard to turn over, it's time to pull the cover.
