It's the engine card which has the serial number and most important the seal number and engine history on it and is needed for scrutineering, however i have just found it in dads car boot! Phew!

Got to the circuit, but went out of the first two heats with mechanical problems, the engine sounded well rough and well bad vibrations! Looked at the engine and there was metal sharpenings everywhere! Two people int he paddock said it's a disintigrated clutch and it had happened to them, i hope thats all it is...

ohhhhh , nasty , bad luck speedy I guess thats a fairly inexpensive repair (well compared to a whole engine) but metal shavings everywhere doesnt sound good does it.
Hope its not as sinister as it sounds. |

So do i! If it is just the clutch it should be repaired for about £40 hopefully, i just hope it is just the clutch where the metal has come from...

Is it the balance gears? Ours went a few months ago with a lot of rattling!

Oh my gawd Speedy! - hope it isn't the same problem I had with me DFV - that cost me just over £16,000 to repair!
(and karting seemed so expensive at the time..........) |

I did exactly the same with my engine card - turned out i'd left it at scrutineering!!!
also the metal shavings - we had the same prob lem on my mates, the clutch thrust plates actually snapped - I thinbk he may have had his chain too tight or the engine managed to move fwd. btw I have now misplaced my licence.... |

That could be what has happened. I'm a bit embarased to say this but the race before my engine sounded really bad and whatever that did happen, happened, my chain came off so between races my dad losened the engine to put the chain back on and then adjusted it moving the engine a bit further forward and tightened it back up, perhaps it wasn't tight enough and moved forward tearing the clutch thrust plates. We're going to take the clutch out at the weekend 9thinking about taking it to the cinema....) and see if we can find the problem and what exactly has been damaged so we can order new parts.

Apparently it ain't the balance gears, I thought the later engines had metal ones but they still have nylon
Did you check your sprocket was in line? |
