Sounds like you just need to think a little more about what you write before you post. I didn't take offence, and yes a bump start would work better for break-in but I have no problems pull starting this.
Besides, as a basher, its just one more piece of equipment I have to haul around and keep charged.
My force 26 was originally a pain in the ass to get started. ALOT of compression, enough that it would rip the whole car off the ground even when you were holding it down. However after breaking it was easy to start. prime it, put the igniter on there, set the throttle trim up for a high idle and yank the cord and it would start and run every time. Still will, but its not in a car anymore! Its been replaced. This was harder originally, but the pull start handle is sized appropriately for the motor. Very easy to start.
BTW, I was a little overboard. The .30 is sitting in a Jammin BUGGY. :joy:
In fact yesterday while playing the front end hit a pebel and it wheelied till I let off the gas. I have no idea how it did it with 3 differentials, but it did. I suspect it would have eventually lost momentum but for about 10 or 15 feet it did a wheel stand. Won't do it on level ground, just shreds the front tires then.
