I got a hold of a heat dryer and tryed heating it up and she only cranked one time and lasted maybe 2 seconds if I am lucky. She always locks up and than I have to use pliers on the flywheel to bring her back the other way to free up. That pinch zone is a real pain and I am not enjoying it. My bump box is pretty useless once she hits that pinch point. Is there anyhing else I can do to make my life easy so I can actually hear my engine run and start breaking her in?
Do you have a temp gun to see if the engine is getting hot enough with the hair dryer? When I switched my starter box over to a 4 cell lipo it now sounds like it will start almoast anything.
