het the motor up with a hair fryer or a heat gun to about 200 degrees F then loosen the glow plug up about 1/2 turn use some throttle to get it started faster. make sure its primed. once its started tighten the glow plug. let us know what happens and how you make out!

Yep , get rid of that #$^%%$ pullstart . I had nasty sores between my fingers for a week after breaking in my sh .28. Now have roto start. My son just ordered a new buggy w/ pullstart but also ordered a bumpstarter after seeing what heppened to my hands.
