hello all.

I have had my Earthquake now for about a month but have not run it much. I have now run 5 tanks through the truck but have not fully tuned the truck. i was working on this when after a short lived run, i noticed something weird about my pull start.
basically i can only get one good crank out of the pull start. it is pretty tight and then turns over once. i noticed i have to pretty much let go of the pull start a couple inches from in and let it hit just so i can pull again. if not, the pull start winds up but it is completely loose. i decide tonight to take the engine (SH .28) out and make sure everything was okay. The clutch springs were good and everything seemed to be fine except i think the pull start is slipping and not making snug contact with the nut on the Engine Backhousing.
Has any one had any problems like this before.

Thanks in advance.
