No the problem is the motor is to new and tight to turn over with the roto starter, So just warm it up with hair dryer and you will be good to go. I had the same problem when I first put roto starter on my SH 28 just warm her up and you will see it will turn over with no problem and then as you break it in it will not need to be warmed up . Give it a try.
