Question Fitting a smaller flywheel

Hi everyone,

I am new so go easy on me. I have an Ansmann Vapor, its my first car, I have the issue that it creeps when its on idle. I have read a few threads on the solutions (clutch shoes, springs, idle screw, tuning etc but still not having a luck.

As a solution I am thinking of changing the clutch and through some research I have seen an adjustable clutch and flywheel kit.

http://www.jespares.co.uk/nitro-mode...eyword=PSR+3v2

The Flywheel on this is 35mm and my current flywheel is 37mm, so my question to you is what are the issues, if any, if I fit a smaller flywheel?

Thanks for your time.

Its a bit of an over kill for an ansman, but yes you could use it.

If I was you I'd strip the clutch out that you have already got on to find out the problem is in the first place.

Yes set your end float up on your clutch bell. When you tighten your clutch bolt up with the washer on you should have about 1/2mm gap, thats end float.

Sounds like you are a bit too tight, thats why your buggy creeps forward.

So just to be clear, the 0.5mm gap should be between the clutch bolt and the flywheel?

Thanks, I'll try this tonight!

No, when you put the clutch bell on your clutch you will have a bolt that holds the clutch bell on.
