Default Tiger Drive

Has anyone used a tiger drive???? I put one my Nitro Evader because I was sick of the pull start but haven't gotten the tiger drive to work. I use an 18 volt drill but still doesn't seem to turn over fast enough. Any thoughts???????????

your one way bearing might be bad if it uses one or your drill might need a recharge

I had a similiar style of starter to the Tiger Drive on my engine before. What I found was that rechargeable drills didn't spin it fast enough to start hot engines. I ended up using a reguler plug in (110 volt) drill, and that made a huge difference. The motors started right up on that drill. I used an inverter on a twelve volt battery to power the drill for "field" use. Hope this helps.

That unit is DESIGNED to work with Sullivan hand sterts though, and they spin at a considerably higher RPM... I know they sell the wand but that was secondary... Tower sells a very inexpensive hand-starter (around 19 bucks), email Sullivan a pic of the drive cone (which can be found in a link on the page of that starter) and ask if they have what you need (an adapter).

Using a powerful 110V drill will end up killing the one-way quicker... The reason I say this is that the hand-starters are direct drive; all speed no torque (MUCH unlike the drill). If your engine floods (or you flood it holding the throttle open when hot) it will SERIOUSLY drag down the hand starter and allow you to fix the problem (drain the fuel through the plug hole) and get going. The drill won't be slowed by the flooding and the shock will be absorbed by the plastic race portion of the one-way bearing. THe bearing will eventually fail with either but the potential to kill it with the drill is great by comparison.
