I was running my revo and then I ran out of gas[I was at idel]. So I fill 'er up and I go to start it and the ez start motor won't even turn. Can anyone tell me whats going on?
ps:the engine isn't flooded I already checked.
 
dead battery?
loose connections in the wires?
or the pack you hold in your hand to start the truck may be fried*if all else fails*
 
I find the connections on the easy starts a very weak design.....make sure the connectors in both wand and the harness are all the same height in the holes.....they have tendancy to get pushed in on the wand and twisted or pushed in on the hareness......also make sure your ground wire has not lost its screw ...that will do it every time..

Yeah like TalonOne stated the connections are very weak. I've had to solder both of them where they connect to the motor. That would be the first place I'd look mach1.
 
I had no choice I sodered them on th second I got them. I replacee m haress a quart ago. I'll check my ground wire and my battery's charging now.

Just peacked the pack and everything is pluged in and the amn thing won't start. This thing has given me heack and I got 6 gallons through it:depress: . It just ordered the OS off tower and i'll be here soon. Is is true that you can buy the engine to the type of starting you want to do with it?

Holy cow!! 6 gallons. That is awesome to say the least. Good for you. Have you checked to see if the wand is the culprit?
 
I've hear that you can get 12-20 gallons through a engine without a problem.:ponder2:
 
The most I heard that someone got through an engine was 13 gallons. I think any thing after 13 is a little far fetched.
