Does anyone know what could be wrong? Id like to get this fixed tonight if possible, i am dying to use it.
The needle bearings are probably getting wedged on to the starter output shaft ,if the o-way is in the pullstart housing itself ,then pull it off
an put a couple drops of oil in the o-way bearing.
Also,your engine is still tight ,you can loosen up the glo-plug a little before you start engine ,the once it starts up ,pull igniter off
an tighten it back up while engine is running. This helps relieve the pressure on the starter on first start up,acts like a compression release!
