LOL yeah its really the main drawback, these motors need a strong mule to kick them over. I wore out my starter wheel trying to break in the .12's.
The bigger motors seem to be easier to turn over as well some are just easier to turn over than others , while some are very tight from the factory. I had one that was so tight I had to remove the piston and polished it some to reduce its tightness. Otherwise I couldnt even start it.
The good thing is , come a gallon or two it keeps getting faster as it loosens up and compression should stay for awhile. Weve got some reports of quite a few gallons through a motor and still going.
