I am sorry for such a stupid question
but how does a starter work??? I just bought a ofna starter box and glow plug ignitor. But its just a box with to motors and a wheel. How is this supposed to start my car? It did not come with directions.
I feel stupid now.

It should have a contactor style switch that will spin the rubber wheel, align the rubber wheel with the flywheel of your engine . It will spin the engine over while you press down with the glow ignitor. Good luck and don't feel stupid. Hope I was able to help.

lol!!! thanx. I felt like a caveman you know, looking at a box and a car trying to figure out how the hell to start it.
I get the picture now. I was thinking maybe you put the damn tires on it or something Yea. That makes alot of sense. I always wondered why the flywheel has a hole in the chasses!! duh!!

does my starter have enough power??? It barely turns the flywheel if any. Am i doing something wrong??? The ofna directions are terrible. Doesn't even tell you how to use it.

Go to a local hobby shop....
The one link that was posted right before my post is a very good place to start! Do you have the Ofna chrome top box or the blue truggy box?

No question is stupid. If you need assistance thats what we are here for. As others have mentioned if the motor is new it will be very hard to turn over. A heat gun or even a hair dryer will aid in a very tight motor, just direct the heat to the case and down the head and it will loosen up. Also make sure your batteries are fully charged and that you have the flywheel in perfect alignment with the starter box wheel. Good luck.

don't feel stupid, i have been doing this for a while now and i just bought a ofna truggy box and the first thing i thought to myself was, wow if i were new at this it would suck to try and figure this out,if it is the ofna truggy box the thing will turn over any motor out their,ofna needs to realize we are not all pro's at this.
