Can't Pull Start

[alpine4]

I went to break in my engine today and I can’t pull start. Bell crank will not turn over. It’s just stuck. I pull the cover off to see if something was hanging up but nothing. I did pull the whole shroud and cover to install KB, but I don’t think that would cause this issue. Brand new what is going?

Did you remove your ignition coil if so you have to gap it with a business card make sure you gap it on the magnetic side of the fly wheel

Coil is probably gapped wrong on dropped.

Could you turn the motor over by hand when you took the fan cover off? The coil could of dropped and touching the flywheel
Wow I was a bit later there ??‍?

All this sounds about right. How do I fix it?

Loosen the 2 coil bolt (don't take em out tho), lift the coil off the flywheel and slip a buisness card in between the coil and flywheel, then let the flywheel suck the coil down onto the business card, then tighten the coil and slip out the card and put it all back together.

I can not turn the motor over by hand with pull cover is off.
So I need to pull the whole cover off again I assume.

Gonna love it, gonna learn small motor repair with this hobby
Now it starts and the stops. I pulled the spark plug and pulled three times then installed it. Still not wanting to start. I will try again. Damn I suck at this

Broken line into the carburetor. Plastic piece that leads into the carburetor broke right off. Brand spankin new. too.

That blows mate. But, at ddm they do sell just that, and it is quite easy to replace! Think it's a $2 part of something

Just ordered part from DDM. The part $6.00 plus shipping. Hopefully I get it in the next few days. Bummer my lipo is fully charged. I should uncharge it.

How did it break? ?‍ what make rc is it?‍

 

[alpine4]

I have no idea. I notice some fuel was being spit on the frame. The motor would turn over and run for 3 sec then shut down. Did this a lot. So I tried to give it some throttle and the plastic piece blew right off. I have no idea how It broke, seems like a hairline fracture that gave way under pressure. Losi 5ive-T 2.0 brand new, wanted to break it in today. Truck had other plans.

Who have you bought it from?

I'd call horizon and try to get a new carby under warranty. Worth a call imo.

 

[Z.hb71]

That's definitely not right, like Sean said, I'd give em a call and see what they say.
