hi guys how long did your pullstart lasted: well i just recieved my gst last friday, broke it in tuned it and i have 9 tanks on it and today when i was going for the 10 th tank my pullstart string broke i didnt even pulled it hard the engine is beginning to wake up and its running awsome starts at 2 pulls, i became some what upset that the string broke so soon [&o] should i give cen a call or should i just buy the rotostart thing but i really think that i should call them.

thanks, arc

The pull starts are usually very strong im into my 2nd gallon and its still fine

all depends on how your using it i suppose, if pulling it straight out it`ll last

but if your pulling it upwards or to the back of the truck it`ll wear out quick

Hey Pal..You must have been pulling upward on your string...Cutting into the housing...You can get a new string from CEN direct some thing like $3.50 dollars plus shipping
It is a small item expendable part...I would not recomend going to roto start until you have 2 gal of fuel used up.If you stay with pull start rub bee's wax
on the string ..It will help and last you a long time...Just my 2 cents worth today..

i wasnt pulling upward [] i know that the pullstart is at an angle its not the first time that i use one i read the instructions

Where did this 2 gallons come from ????????

CEN said one gallon before. I'm sticking with the pull start. Works fast and easy for me, and less damage to the engine.

Ok It came from 2 different hobby shop owners..In different towns..But I asked them if they have any CEN Products ..The Answer was no...
To make a long story short..Each owner said it just would be better if you had 2 gal of fuel ran thru your engine...With the engine
being tight from pinch..and for the piston to wear with the sleeve...It is common to do for most engines...Quote of 2 different hobby shop
owners...I just said until you have a cen products and have did some checking about cen.Maybe your wrong..That is way I said that..I know
as you have read also a lot of owners are having issues with the roto start being installed too so..As you also are a Cen owner...
So if there is some confusion on this ..Then less get this stright when a owner should install a roto start for these big engines..

CEN Clearly recommends 1 gallon then roto-start, you can put it in anytime you want. but if you want to void your warranty then put it in before the 1 gallon

Thats pretty clear in ALL CEN's literature and manuals
