thank you, I tried starting it a couple of days ago without the throttle servo and radio reset after having the engine off. I was very careful priming it and finally got a couple of pops and and a kickback. I need to try the new starter and see if it will power the engine through the compression stroke without fuel and glow. I’ll post an update as soon as the next play day comes up.
thanks again bill
