main problems
- the spindle wasent large enough, so i wrapped electricions tape around it,
- the spindle had no traction in the wet at all, no solution as yet
- engine trouble, the wheel is egg shaped and the engine bounces up and down on it and all the mixture screws come lose
- the english climate is bad and theres lots of rain, no solution as yet
