    the flywheel should be able to spin counter clockwise but not clockwise.

    You should be able to spin the flywheel in BOTH directions, but definitely not freely. You should be able to feel the compression & release for every rotation.

    Thanks for the help I fixed it. I think the piston was stuck in Top Dead Center or something like that but it works fine now.

    only if you dont have a pull start or ez start. it is possible to turn the engine clockwise with the ez start, but its very hard because it needs to turn the ez start motor aswell. with pull start it should be impossible (unless you have a bad one way bearing),

    with the EZ start, there is that one-way bearing that only lets the angine turn one way, so it is different for different rc cars
