I have a couple of full crank motors that are giving me starting problems in that they can take several pulls to get them started. Once they fire up they are fine and run well but it is this inconsistent starting problem that is bugging me. One of them I have honed and fitted new rings so it is not a compression issue. My thoughts are that it might be crank seals not being 100%. I am now starting to dig deep into my F/C stockpile so I can keep building slashers/sidethrows. I am now going to start having to throw out perfectly good F/C pressed metal catcher type bases because I need the motors for my 24 inch slasher projects. Any thoughts on the starting issues?
