<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">The pull start on my OS CV-X .15 has always acted up. When the engine is cold (even at 70 degree room temp), the one-way bearing catches for one revolution at the beginning and end of the 12" stroke. It just slips in between. Once it starts and warms up just for a minute, the one-way bearing works perfect through-out the pull-starters stroke. I have replaced the bearing but not the shaft (the shaft looks perfect and the engine does not have much time on it), it worked fine for a very short time and then the same problem. I have cleaned and lightly lubed the bearing and when I have the pull start off and try the bearing by hand, it grabs perfect with no slipping. I'm ready to give up and buy a starter box. Anyone have experience with the same problem??</span>
