Default Pull Starter

Just got the Volcano SV and after my first day of running it I have broken the pullstarter. Does anyone know how to fix it? Didnt see any parts in the manual for replacement. And one more question, the guy at the hobby shop said I should get 30% fuel, and I remember reading 20% but I figure he knew better then me so I got the 30%. It seems like the engine runs really hot is this why or do I just suck at tuning?

Thanks for any help.

pullstarters are can be tough to get back together. Sometimes you can luck out if the spring didn't break inside.
I would run 20 percent if I were you. 30 percent will shorten the life span of your motor but you will get a bit more out of the motor while it is still running lol..

hey you don't want to run that 30% till your engine is broken in good, plus your goign to want to run it somewhat on the rich side.

Thanks for the info guys, I now have a new problem! Well I ordered a new pull start and was going to install it but I noticed that the Rear Housing that the pull start connects to has come off the Engines main body does this mean I blew the engine??
