Also every pull-start motor Ive used has given me troubles with the pull-start. From .12's to larger , I always find myself pulling them apart , cleaning them and reassembling. Its kinda just how it goes. Why I now am glad I have a starter box.
I also know someone who builds monster truck starter boxes for t-maxx's , Im sure I could have a chat with him on other vehicles to produce it for.
No more pull-string scars on your hand , thats for sure. As well I have my starter box setup with power-panel and glow-starter attachment. Which has adjustable power. So if motor isnt starting , I turn the dial and the strength of the heat goes up and motor will almost always fire after that.
Great for breaking-in motors and starting troublesome motors. Saves the hands for sure and frustration.
Also those new STS .28 Motors look great! Seems they come with the one-piece heatsink. Looks very nice!
My O.S. 18tz, old Novamega, and maybe my Orion .28 come with glow plug
, Am I just lucky?
I never have trouble with pull start. I had several pull start engine before non of them break from new until the engine lost all its compression. but many people change their pull start more often then everyweek,
the owner of the LHS I was hang out (now close to switch job) is a master of pull start
he teach me a lot on how to pull, basically it is more about speed thatn how much you pull out. do it fast but never reach the total length of the pull string. to acieve that, you need to know how long the string you have on your pull start and make sure you don't reach that limit.
tuned the engien right and have a healthy glow plug with appropriate temp is important too ( I tend to use hotter plug)
the trick of pull start is "FAST but NOT FAR"
hope that help
regard the sts .28, I wish it is torbo plug, I hate copper shim of standard plug
