RE: Ez Start Vs Pull
Pull starts suck when a truck flames out, luckily for elite and I his truck starts well, good tuning!
I used to be a pullstart fan, until I broke the $50 RB .28 pullstart...went to Starter box and loved it. Breaking in the new engine (XTM 24/7 Pro) I stuck with the pull start for now, but I do plan to go back to the box once break in is finished and I get time to re-align the pins and such.
BACK ON TOPIC
The original poster said "I bought it w/out a pull start, the orginal owner used a starter box". That means his only option is a starter box. Unless you want to buy a different crankshaft, one way, backplate, you can't use the Roto-Start, pullstart, or ez-start.
