pull start broke
Has anyone installed and used the electricstarter gun for a 21cxp engine in an earthquake 3.5. I know they are kind of expensive, but so is a pull start. I have broke my pull string several times and have replaced the pull string with a larger string from a traxxes (with slight modification). Now I believe the springis broken, and the new pull start will come with a small pull string again. I guess if there was a pull start with a large pull string that would work on this engine I would probably go that route. Thanks</p>

sdnitro- The electric start works great on that model as well as all the models, you will wanna pay close attention to not flooding the engine just as you would with you pullstart because if the engine becomes flooded and you continue to try and start the vehicle it can and will damage the starter.

RE: pull start broke
thanks RCToysNh that sounds to me the best and cheapest way to go. Do you have the part numbers for the back plate and wand? Does the engine need to be turned ccw when viewed fron the back? thanks
