hi i have just converted my genesis to a roto start but i was going to use a starter shaft and a cordless drill that i have just bought but the drill wont start the engine why wont it start? the drill is a 9.6v.

the engine starts with a drill what you plug into the wall but that mean that i can only use my genesis close to my house any answers would be grate?

Check out this thread. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_40...tm.htm#4056271

The guy there couldn't get his to start until he put a faster drill on it.
that might be your issue.

You may need a bigger drill. I really like craftsman's (sears) 19.2v cordless drill. Best one I've ever used and I've even dropped it in over a foot of water and never had any issues with it.

I use a 7.2v but its barely fast enough to get the genesis started.

i do need a faster drill as it start with the plug in drill but wont start with the cordless do you no what voltage drill would be best as i dont want to go out and buy a drill for it not to work and another problem i have is i get my truck running and i start to drive it about when i give it full throttle it just cuts out is it running to rich

19.2 Sears drill is dialed!

I have found my Genesis VERY hard to start from cold, and I have blisters to prove it.[:@][:@]

I have now taken to putting a drop of fuel directly into the cylinder, pull the starter cord once or twice to blow out the access, replace the glow plug and hey presto, one or two pulls and she is away!!

Is this okay to do?
How this is the point where you lot reply telling me I am killing my engine!!

The only way it will hurt anything is if you put too much fuel in and hydro-lock the piston, just like when you flood it. It will be very hard to pull, because the piston can not compress the fuel this can break pull starts roto-starts and one way bearings. Were you priming the engine by putting your finger over the stinger untill the fuel reached the carb? That might save you the trouble of pulling the glow plug.

have you got a site where i can buy a sayers drill from as im in the uk and have never heard of that make

You could get any brand of drill really...

Just that more voltage ususally means more power. Also, its best if the drill has a variable speed trigger as well as a 2 speed gearbox. And, you want a torque clutch so that it the engine gets flooded, your drill will just slip when its hard to turn instead of wrecking the engine. A half inch chuck is nice too, because then you can fit some big stuff in the drill.

I just reccomend the sears drill because I have worked in the automotive industry and I restore cars at home for a hobby, and It's my favorite drill out of the 6 (i think) that I have. It actually has more power than a snap on 3/8 cordless impact driver

michelob78,

I have a small priming pump in my fuel line, and I always prime it so fuel gets to my carb +1 pump.

But still get blisters. [:@]






A few us are in the UK, or the rest of the world, so no, never heard of them.[]

Wow! I think you are the first person I have ever talked to that didn't know about Sears! I knew you were in the U.K. but I thought maybe they might have a Sears in the U.K. Guess not.

How about the CRAFTSMAN brand tools? Have you heard of them? Die-hard batteries, how about them? Those are both Sears exclusive items.

Now that’s a privilege.


How about the CRAFTSMAN brand tools? Have you heard of them? Nope.
Die-hard batteries, how about them? Nope.
Those are both Sears exclusive items. Thats probably why I ain't heard of them!!!

I am sure you would not have heard of our brands.

Wow it almost like some of us don't even live on planet USA!!!!.

Sorry Cen, only kidding.

Hmmm
How about the dollar, have ya heard of it?...... its pretty Planetarie I'm told

Oh ye, heard of that!

You mean you don't live on Planet USA??? [8D] I really did think Sears was an international brand!

At any rate, find the best 19.2 volt drill you can in your country!

He He
I think scott GTR has heard of sears, he's just pulling our leg, the Rascal

Get yourself this, it will start a brand new engine with out any issues
