i got a xtm xt2 from a friend that said it didnt run
it runs fine when you get it started
it has a roto start thats a pain in the a**
would a pull starter make it easier or should i sell it and get a different buggy</p>

What's with the roto start? Y u no like?

I have a pull-start on 2 of mine and i love it, light weight, easy (being that you don't need to carry anything else), and kinds cool... Chainsaw like.lol

What engine does it have in it?
The pull start works well for me and less crap I need to haul to the park.

he broke the pull starter and put a roto start on it has the 24.7 engine
it does not like to start ive had it about a month
i get it running and it goes throught the most the tank i shut it of let it set for 10 15 min refill it and not even five seconds and its running when i put it up for the day and then try to run it the next day some thang hard to get the first stert then its good
any pointers


P.S.
i will trade or sell it if instreted</p>

The one way bearing is slipping on the starter shaft.

I had one with the same engine that did the same thing. It ran awesome when it was running, and would start right up if the engine was hot, but after it sat overnight or even for 30 minutes or so after running it was hard to start again.

One thing you can try. Take your air filter off the engine, and then turn the flywheel until the opening on the crankshaft comes to the top so that you can see down in there. Then take a can of WD40 or Brake Clean and stick the nozzle down in there pointed towards the rear of the engine and spray a decent amount in there. This will help to get some of the oil buildup out of the one way bearing. I always sloshed some rubbing alcohol around in the crankcase of mine and it made a big difference in how well it started because the OWB slipped much less.
