Are Starter Boxes worth the money?

In my honest opinion, if you tripled the price and were required to cluck like a chicken before buying them, it would still be a good deal. I cannot imagine life without my boxes.

LOL.. Start clucking!!


Most high end engines CANNOT be started with a pull start. I guess its not an option for the pros!
But if your a student with limited $$ and your engine has a pull start.. heck might as well use it!

Would it be worth it to get a starter box if 'm using a roto starter? Or are they basically the same thing?

if u currently have a roto start or pullstart, a starterbox would be redundant, but if you have plenty of extra cash, they do make starting easier as they turn an engine over much faster.

nitroracer - that is exactly how they work

Is there any way to tell if you've flooded the engine when using a roto start or starter box? I'm always having to guess if my engine has been flooded after a few minutes of not being able to start up. What are the risks of turning over a flooded engine with a roto and a starter box?
