ok this may sound wierd but its a brand new force .12 and it ran funny when i was braking it in and it started raining so i put it down for a few days. so it was sitting for a few days and then i pulled pull start and it slipped, (but i wasn't sure what! slipped) so i take plug out and see if pistons movinns but I'm pulling and its not goin anywhere, occasionaly it would catch but then fall off. so i take pull start off to see if its the dam bearing, but i knew it couldnt be cause its brand new, i even took bearing and spun it on shaft and could see it was biting perfectly fine. but piston wouldnt budge, sumtimes it would bite but the it would let go, this ever happen to anyone?? ok let me no
 
and a nother owb
bites the dust replace your one way bearing or buy a stater box
it is your owb that is slipping

Sounds pretty sucky if your one way goes that quick. But they do go. Take it out and soak it in denatured alcohol for a bit. Then put it back together and it shoud work fine.
 
actually this time it wasn't the one way bearing........i knew it couldnt be cuz its brand new, and i checked to see if it would bite the shaft and it did, i took it to this guy and he said the flywheel wasn't tightend down enough and thats what it was, ok later
 
actually the flwwheel was fine, it was the crankshaft, the pin that holds the con rod snapped and so thats why the starter shaft wouldnt bite it, man too much suspense, but now that I've got it figured out..............can you say free new engine?? :contract:
