I have recently installed a sts.28 in my savage.... I have broken it in with approximately 4ltrs of 20% nitro through it.... I managed to break 2 pull starters 1st was spring the 2nd one the plastic part the string wraps around split at the knott.... I switched to a Roto start back plate... but this also broke a gear inside.... I was able to use the gear out of my HPI roto start back plate.... Although these are no longer problems, I do have a problem that has been a issue since new.... that is a sticky throttle, Dino recommended pulling it down and cleaning it. Which I did..... although it seems better it remains to be sticky.... I have now removed the throttle return spring which has also helped but not completely fixed the problem.....

Has anyone else had a sticky carb throttle?? As I see I share starter problems... thanks for any pointers
