Default Requesting help on my raptor

Greetings everyone, I am a new member to this particular forum and have a question that hopefully someone can help me with

I have a thunder tiger raptor 30, last week I tried to start it and the engine would not allow the starter to spin in the direction to start the engine, like it was locked or something.

Does anyone know what the problem is or have a raptor do this to them, any input would be greatly appreciated.

schwegs,

First I would remove the glow plug and see if it will turn over. It could be hydra-locked. If that is not the case drop the motor and see if you can turn it over with your hand. If mine was not hydr-locked usually the the nut that holds the fan on had backed off and allowed the fan to unscrew and lock up the system. If you get it out and can not turn the motor over by hand.... You may want to contact the manufacturer.

Hope this helps!

Default clutch

Chances are your clutch has bit the dust.

How much does a clutch cost for the raptor?

I also had my fan loosen up, which caused it to lock up. Easy to check by dropping the motor.
