Thanks for replies,

Pins etc all seem ok, when the car stops it sounds as if the motor as slipped and lost mesh on the spur and pinion, leave throttle alone and the car restarts okay. I have checked for loose motor and the motor is solidly in place and mesh is still fine. The spur is also okay, no teeth grinding or small stones etc in any of the teeth.

Will check the slipper clutch tonight, I take it Turning clockwise will tighten it.

Carole.
