Default Ok!! What Gives???

I just tried to take my Savage out for a little showing off(the neighbor kids wanted to see it) and the pullstart on my 8 port is not working right.When I pull it just pulls and recoils without turning over the engine and now I look like an idiot because I couldn't get it started.Is the one-way bearing stripped or something.

The pullstart just pulls out without turning over the engine but it recoils fine so I don't think it broken.i'm taking it off now to see what up I wanna go out and try and save face before it gets to dark.

HAHAHA save your face..

LOL.

I think your pull start is broken then. Your pulley isnt in contact with the crank then. That part probably broke.

Let me know I'm right here!

The pullstart seems to be working fine.It's pulling and recoiling fine while it off the engine.Is the shaft and the pullstart one peice or does the shaft come out?

This sort of thing always seems to happen when you are showing it off to other people. Last time I was showing my maxx off, my rear yolk busted about a minute into the run, so I only had front wheel drive and the thing was really slow. Kind of makes you feel like an idiot
