right now i think this engine sucks. i just bought the roto start because my pit man broke my pull start. i instulled it and tryed to start the engine and after 15 seconds it started making a funny noise and then the roto start wouldn't turn any more. i took the roto start off and saw that i couldn't spin the shaft that the roto start big gear goes on to. the one that goes through the backplate and the oneway ataches to. i took the backplate off and pulled the c-clip off the shaft and it still didn't move. i had to hammer it out and when i did i saw that the copper bushing was getting eaten up by the shaft and there was copper fileings all over the shaft/ i cleaned them all off and put the enine back together and tryed starting it and the same thing happened.

is there somthing wronge that i did? i'm just mad because now i cant go racing this weekend and i havent been able to race much all year and i was looking forward to racing tomarow and now i cant go. is there an thing i can do to fix this or is it just a faulty roto start?

any help is apreciated
