I got it running. My dad stole it and took it to the store where I bought it. He got it to run down a whole tank idling. As for the don't-pull-starter I trashed it and bought a new engine starter that I use a drill and a really big hex bit to start. I ran 2 more tanks through it on my driveway yesterday, but then it got kind of boring when I kept literally running circles around my mom's car, so I took my Hyper into the street and full-throttled it. My neighbor came out in the middle of it and was completely amazed at how fast it was. The break-in is coming along. Slowly, but coming.
