electric start
my electric start is being a beezee..when i plug it in it goes zzzz and every once in a while it will actially turn the crank. so it takes like five minuts to start it up the first time but once it is warmed up it doesnt take as long... and when i took it off it looked like the gear seemed loose how would i fix this if thats the problem or should i just get a pull start..how much are pull starts

RE: electric start
pull starts are a waste IMO, if you have the roto start already then keep it, as for it slipping, replace the OWB and the shaft it rides on, sometimes these get worn out and they tend to slip when they are cold, but as we all know, when metal warms up it expands, and that is why it works better once its warm.
hope this helps

RE: electric start
loosen the glow plug a little bit when cold and you ll be fine just dont forget to tighten it once it fired up, lossens like a1/4 turn mine is the same way!
