hooked the starter to 18v and it turned the engine good but got warm after about 15 seconds of spinning, so i set it aside but left it hooked up i looked back at it after about 20 more seconds and it had a faint stream of smoke coming from it so i unplugged it immediately and grabbed it and it was pretty warm but still worked with 12v.. so i took the starter cone off the starter and chucked it on a drill, but the drill wasn''t spinning quite fast enough so the engine didn''t start. i guess i will have to purchase a starter.. where can i find a good deal on a strong starter? and the clicking was the magnets against the magneta!! haha i feel ignorant! the magnets weren''t actually touching, it was just the jerk of the magnet''s attraction causing a slight click. honestly i am worried about this engine, something just doesn''t seem right, there is a brass screw on the side of the carb where the gas inlet is it seems to be backed all the way out and there is epoxy or something all around it holding it locked into place?!
