Status: offline 		While trying to start my new 120SP the allen socket on the gear starter was stripped. What part do I need to replace it and what is the procedure to replace it?
Many thanks

Sorry for the delay in responding. Have you actually stripped the internal thread or the starter screw itself?
If it is the former this would involve a replacement crankshaft. How are you starting the engine? Are you using a drill? This tends to be the main (if not only cause) of stripping the internal thread, hence we highlight that a drill should not be used.

If it is the starter screw, let me know and I will advise you how to remove this.

We may need your details, in which case please email laurenne@rcvengines.com

Best regards
Laurenne

Status: offline 		Thanks for the answer. I stripped the internal allen cup where one inserts the tip of the allen wand which was supplied with the engine. I used a Sullivan High torque starter on 24 V. Due to this happening, I put a spinner and started from the prop, which is fine for the test stand, but in the model I would rather use the rear starting option.
Thanks
Yoram

Status: offline 		Okay
What you wil need to do is strip down the engine (as per the instructions). Then the crankshaft webb held in a smooth jaw vice and remove the screw with a tool/grip. Replace the screw and reassemble (there is a spare with your engine).
I have to say that this is very rare if the right tools are used. Could you please ensure that the starting adapter hex isn't worn

I hope this helps
Laurenne

I actually used the brand new allen wand for the starter that was provided with the engine, but apparently the wand was not vertical when I pressed the starter switch.
Thanks
