changed to a pull start

[ellietommy]

hi everyone,
just changed my rotostart on the truck to a pull start and was wondering how can you tell if the engine is flooded with a pullstart?

It will be pretty had to pull if you even can when its flooded.

Fuel will come out of the exhaust too when you're trying to start it

I've found that if it gets hard to pull, loosen the glowplug a bit and and then it will usually fire right up. Then of course you'd have to remember to tighten the plug back up.

got my truck out today and went to use the pull start for the first time after about five pulls it snapped. time to change back to rotostart

I haven't had that problem yet, and I give it a good tuggin'.
Been using it about a month, but the retractor spring seems to be losing some bite.

I'll let everybody know when it finally goes.
