Waddaya supposed to do with cases, again?

Rear brake not binding?

Like a part of the tensioner falling into the engine and is jamming
it....

 

OK, OK.... summarising, for both you and JL.

-Rear wheel, in gear: bloody hard to turn, even with the plugs out (so
no compression to impede proceedings).
-Rear wheel, in neutral: as easy as you'd expect it.

-Crank, in gear: turns over smoothly with the normal, moderate amount of
resistance, both with plugs in and out.
-Crank, in neutral: as above, with no perceptible drop in resistance
(this is what I mean by saying that you have to look at the rear wheel
to see if it's turning to figure out whether you're in gear or not; you
can't tell just by how hard you're tugging on the ratchet)

 

funny

 

Ah, your clutch is rooted.

Would've been funnier if BT had've said it!
Clem

 

How you figure that one?

 

'cos when it is engaged, it is giving you problems.

H (probably explained the higher than average fuel consumption, but, from
here, I could say it could be anything).

 

I'm not as funny in real life though.

Which gear? If 1st, then it will be hard to turn over, given the
mechanical (dis)advantage that low gearing offers.

 

Box in top gear? Will be a lot harder in first.

Theo

 

The clutch is not engaged in neutral? Hmm, next you'll be saying all the
cogs in the box remain stationary in neutral.

Theo

 

Damn, nearly a day late.

Theo

 

It sounds like there's something wrong with it.

Of course they will. Just don't be moving (be stationary as you like to
call it).

Hammo

 

I tried building a model gearbox out of paper, but when I put
it in gear it remained stationery.

Well, _half_ of them will...

big

 

Hammo, he is describing what happens when he turns the engine.

Theo

 

Which half? In my gearbox all the gears turn in all gears, including
neutral. In neutral however, some of the shafts don't turn.
