I have installed the roto start and I'm not sure if I like it. It seems to me that it would be easier to just to keep the pull starter on. I hate having to lug that thing around. On top of that, it started to smoke the last time I used it. It now does not have enough power to turn the engine over. I'm fairly sure that the device was defective I only used it twice and did not crank on the motor very long. I'm toying with just putting the pull start back on. Any thoughts?

Not sure what is wrong with yours but i like pull start the best. Just for the reason you only have to carry a glow plug in your pocket and your ready to start anywhere.

That's the way I am leaning.

Alot of people said that they have a hard time with there pull starts on the nx-76. I didn't run my truck for months and it only took 4 little pulls from my pull start to get the truck running. I even have a bad shoulder, and besides some pain, it's not that bad using the pull starter.

I vote pull starter all the way, just have fun trying to get a new one on ebay...I'm still waiting to pay less than $20 besides shiping, I want a back up.

Rotostarts are the devils work. [:'(] Your original post is why. They have all the disadvantages of pullstarts, and none of the advantages. If you are going to lug a large battery powered thing around with you, make it a starter box. At least that way you can properly seal your engine. Otherwise use a pullstart, and never worry about batteries, or lugging around heavy objects.

whatp up, I havea a ct5, i broke my pullstart, so I bought a electric starter so I thought it would be easierl, I put my car away and
tried to start it with the electric starter instead of the pullstart, but I don't get nothing, I been trying to start the car for at lest 7
times and the engine does not start at all. i would agree that it does not have enought power to turn the engine, I don't like it either
so I am going back with pullstar....

Ran my gst in with pull start then swapped over to roto start and am very happy.
Hasnt given me any problems accept having to carry it with me. Starts pretty much
within 1 to 2 seconds. Have only owned it for 1 month though.

i say rotostart......never had problem on my mg16 and savage...
