get an OS?? I know that's not that helpful but TT motors really aren't that great.

Do you see fuel going through the fuel line? what starter are you using?

Good idea, the OS 32 is a great motor, a little under powered but a very reliable motor. The TT 36 was a nightmare from day one (they make a great paper weight though ).

If you are use a drill and you say it's turning it fast it might be to fast. This can happen. One person I know put a higher voltage battery on his starter to start a os50 engine. It didn't work because it turned to fast. Try turning the speed down on the drill if it's variable. Other wise try a regular heli starter. Good luck.
