RE: i'm so bummed about my starter box
If the engine is broken in and the chrome top can't turn it over i doubt its becuase of the pinch. you need to take your engine out, and adjust it so everything is lined up and it looks like the picture a few posts up. Once youve done that with the motor still out push down and see if the start box wheel rubs again the chassis at all, it should if you lined it up correctly. If youve got it set-up correctly, get the motor back into the buggy, and check to see if the box will turn the motor over. If the starter box wheel runs against your engines flywheel, but doesnt turn it over make sure your battery is charged, the first tiem you charge these gel-cells they need to go for around 12-14 hours. If the box wheel doesnt even readh your flywheel then its becuase your engine still have pull-start mounts and is up to high. you need to get them replaced.
