hey all, i'm trying to start an older serpent on-road car w/my new but used bump starter. i have a brand new, freshly charged 12v (8amp) battery in the starter, and the motor seems strong(i "can't" stop it from spinning w/my hand while it's running). the rubber starter wheel just rubs the flywheel, not turning it. i can turn the flywheel by hand fairly easy.
do i need to have the flywheel set further back on the rubber starter wheel? any suggestions?

Is your flywheel on the very top of your bump stater wheel?

no, it was not. contacted a friend, and he asked the same thing as you. so i set the box and car up so it hits the highest spot, and now it works perfectly. thanks alot.

You have to adjust the actuating starter switch. It should start before it comes in contact with the rubber starter wheel.

Glad I could help.
