Thanks for your help guys, RCnick came out and helped me get my truggy started today. The motor on my starter box is going the correct way, thanks for the tip. The motor I have is the A28, which is on the block. Stopped by Gene's place today and he told me that with this motor i didn't need to lower the motor or change the flywheel. Is this correct. We ran 2 tanks at idle and one at a very low speed. I hope I can get threw a couple of tanks tomorrow. Can the member who posted those pics of the starter box show me how they have their box set up with and without the truggy. I went out and got a new pull cord and now the 1 way bearing is slipping. Great.. I love this truggy but damn.. it's breaking before I get it running.
Yeah i was out there today with his truck and it ran real good. But the one way bearing slipping so soon was kinda weird. Is there anyway to maybe save it cause it is brand new and should not be worn out yet...
SWFL - if you don't change that backplate (from the pull start one) you won't be able to lower the motor - maybe that's what Gene meant. You would probably have been better getting the Sportswerks backplate that Chrobar posted a link to now that you have a starter box - not sure why you would want to keep the pull start? They are just a pain in the ass with cord's breaking and one way bearings crapping out - plus you will lose some horsepower with it on.
NICK - you can try to soak the one way overnight in something like CRC - that can work. You can also replace the bearing itself (and keep the hex it fits into) which is a bit cheaper than buying a replacement CEN one way. TheRealDogman wrote a good instructional piece on replacing the one way bearing -

This will work fine but I would still recommend just going with the sportwerks backplate - for $12 it stops all that drama.
