SRA was RIGHT!
I flipped over the rubber spinner insert on my electric starter and there was a small hole on the other side just like SRA said in his post. I reversed the insert and the .049 started within a second.
Never again will I have to bruise a knuckle or try to start this engine by hand for ten minutes. With the electric starter the engine practically starts just by getting near the thing!
Thanks again guys.
We have to get out the word about using an electric starter
on the Cox engines for those who have never experienced it, they will never hand start it again.
