Thanks! and same to you Truggy man!

To fix the pullstart issue, don't pull it farther then half of the length of the cord, that is the best solution. So when it's new pull it all the way till it stops slowly then mark with a black marker the mid point and don't pull past that. The key to a reliable pullstart is not pulling it to far.

Here is a good tip while starting, plug the exhaust with your finger and pull the pullstart, until you see fuel has hit the carb, then pull it 2 more times while you are plugging the ehxaust to prime the engine. Then put your ignitor in, and have someone giving it throttle or you can give it throttle hold the controller in your hand and rest your hand on the center diff or on your ignitor or whereever you feel you can hold the truck down best while pulling the pullstart. Should start up right away!
