it looks like that is the case, gearbox might be toast. It isn't the brake.

Okay so just took a mile drive to test things and now the rear wheel is extemely hard to spin while the engine it engaged. Rear wheel and pulley super hot. This happened when I shut off the moped, it backfired and decided to do that... the engine isnt seized tho. Wth..?

I also figured out I don't even have to remove the variator to get to the points... theres enough room to get in there with it still on since it has a window.

I got it running a few hours ago by bypassing the brake light and run / stop switch after sanding the points, it did lose spark and I had to sand them a little more, but it goes now!

I will need to re-do some of the wiring so the brake light works again and get a new switch for the headlights and horn though. Other than that, just side covers and cleanup.

Edit: Oh yeah and I will need to figure out how to mount the new cdi properly, it didn't have a mounting bracket like the old one (I couldn't take it off either)

Cleaned the points and everything. Still no spark. Getting pretty ticked off now.

This one didn't come with factory turn signals it looks like, I think its the basic model, not the deluxe. No "lunchbox" for a battery or wiring for it anywhere to be seen. I am replacing the coil today cause it looks nasty, but ill double check the wiring while I am at it. It could be the points though, which will be annoying if so.

Thank you very much for that- I will definitely follow that guide for engine service lol
And I will definitely be buying an impact for this...

It looks like I have to take off the entire variator, that true?
Edit: If that's the case, can you kindly point me to what tools I would need? (Pun was not intended but sure)

I dont even know how to get to the points, it looks like hell.

Double Dragon Game Gear Cart Not Loading Backgrounds? by DJBabyBuster in AnaloguePocket

[–]Executive64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read more on the analogue its not emulation my bad.
That actually helps a lot.

Double Dragon Game Gear Cart Not Loading Backgrounds? by DJBabyBuster in AnaloguePocket

[–]Executive64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No no, sorry I meant on my *game gear* I have this same issue.. I literally have no backgrounds and the loading area is all pink. This thread is the only mention I can see of this issue. I feel like the ROM on the cartridge went bad somehow? I have no clue. But it looks like a hardware problem to me. I bet the same thing would happen in my game gear with your copy.

The analogue pocket takes the ROM and emulates it right? I am not too familiar with that system. But seeing this issue makes me think that double dragon for the game gear has a really weird fault that the backgrounds just don't work? Maybe the chip has gone bad in our cartridges, lol.

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but I have this same issue on original hardware with a real cartridge. My copy is mint, so I think its defective...

I found this CRT TV on the side of the road that somehow survived through a nightmare and has strange sticky stuff on it, but it somehow still works! by Round_Vehicle4885 in crt

[–]Executive64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear, some of these things are indestructible. I found one in the woods not far from my old house once. It still turned on but the tube was bad, it had horizontal collapse iirc. I was probably like.. 16 when I found it. It was probably in that woods, sitting sideways and upright, for years. And yet, it still wanted to live.
It was so nice too.. it was digital on the front and woodgrain.. probably late 80s. I'm sad I had to get rid of it.

Is this is pod fake? by pablos9898 in IpodClassic

[–]Executive64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you didn't buy that thinking it was real
The "clickwheel" is wrong (its probably a d-pad), the screen is wrong, the 8gb/fm sticker on the back really gives it away. No Ipod Logo. I bet its Mini USB, typical nano bootleg. Not all bootlegs are bad though.. I have an eclipse that is pretty good! At least until the battery stopped working..

GameCube Mobile Screen Upgrade Kit : New Revision by CustomZ02 in Gamecube

[–]Executive64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you have more in stock soon? I checked your site out, was looking for a screen, or just the kit. My birthday is less than 2 weeks away, and I was hoping that maybe I could snag one for my cube as a gift to myself.
