Default Hellfire problems

After my son broke the pullstarter on his Hellfire, I put a rotostart system on it. Now that the new backplate is installed, Ican't get the hellfire to start.It normally started on 3-4 pulls of the cord. Also, it seems to be leaking fuel from the back plate where the rotorstart was installed, and a lot of fuel is getting to the exhaust pipe also.

Thoughts before Itake it to the shop?

i bought a used Hellfire SS with the k4.6ho and bought a O-ring kit for the mill at the LHS for around $5. Kit has the O-ring that goes on the backplate before you slide it into the mill. this o-ring might have become tweaked during replacement/installation.

if your gettin a lot of fuel through the X pipe, its prob just sucking fuel through the mill when it cranks but doesnt start. id try leaning it out a bit... maybe a new glow plug.

if you got alot of fuel coming out of the pipe and it wouldnt start after you seal it up put a new plug in it it is probably flooded.....
