HI All,
Just a quick questions. Will you get any problems if you use an electric start during the breakin of the engine? I jhust picked up an electric start but there is no info regarding breakin period.


thanks.

what kind of electric start are u talking about are u talking about rotostart it shouldnt be a problem at all

It's the one that you put on the backing plate to replace your pull start. So it should be okay then. Thanks for your help.

Yea it will be fine.

is it this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKSC8&P=7 im pretty sure it is its fine some cars even come with the roto start but its just the same thing as a pullstart so their will not be any problems

Yeah it's like that one. Thanks for the help, I just did not want to blow another piston on breakin...

just be careful that when breaking in, the engine is running very rich and can flood, its hard to tell with a rotostart, with a pull start you can feel it hydrolocking (getting hard to pull) with a rotostart you cant, so listen for it to sound like its working extra hard to turn over.

rotostart has a hydro lock to ed when the car gets flooded it wont turn the engine over with the roto

Personally I like the HSP starter better than the roto start and the XTM sure start is better than both of them[&o]

it will shut down when it overheats, this happens when the starter has to work too hard to turn over the engine when its flooded.
