I don't think I'll do that tbh. They sent me a fekd starter, that's their fault. I'll use my drill for the mean time ? if I fekd the starter then I'd try an repair it, but this is on them
 
Well I was trying to get it running, it was idling good untill it died. Then from cranking, the f***ing crank end were the threads are for the flywheel nut stripped ? so I'm really really really upset. Really just wanna push it off a cliff and start fresh. Maybe I should just pull it out and dissasemble this failure and go through it and improve it for next summer instead of keep trying.

I think as dissapointing as it is, I think I wanna part it out and just go for a 40gt rcmax or alx. Making 22hp on this is completely a waste money wise, like 3k for my power goals (the only reason why I kept going). Plus even then there Gunna be a ton of kinks to work out = more money. I could part it out and get like $700 or $1000, and put it towards either a g340 obr or a rcmax 40gt-46 and then as time goes by, I save and eventually work towards a Alx super 71. You Kno what I'm Getting at? Looking on the bright side, I learned many things, designed my own ignition system, ect

Just put a Zen 32 in it for now. Their cheap and reliable. Then you can wrench on the 71 while you have fun and bash with the 32.

True but you already have invested a ton of money, time, and forum pages into it. Just gonna scrap it all together? Gonna sell parts off or something? I just don't think your too far from the finish line, but only you can make that call.

So thinking of the 40GT, huh? I'm thinking of something for my Vekta.5 but not sure yet.

Gunna part it out I think, just not Gunna toss it in the bin. Yeah 40gt is a option, or if a used 46 or 71 comes up
