Roto-starts are a pain in the butt, and allot more expensive in the long run, especially if you put an aftermarket roto-start on an engine that is not designed for a roto-start..Like everyone says the bearing, and/or the shaft will strip out and must be replaced, mostly because the roto-starts are too strong for the engine, they spin too fast and ruin everything..Bump start is the only way to go, at least until someone comes up with a Turnkey...
