piston down?

feel is fine too but doesn't work very well with pull start engines. when you roll it to the top the recoil keeps it from rolling back down.
 
Forgot about that. I also found that problem with my REVO as well. The EZstart makes it hard to bring it to BDC as well.
 
Diver, give it a gallon you'll be able to roll that piston over the top w/ your pinky....it'll still run good but they just don't keep that mech pinch for long....
 
Don't worry plaid ... she's coming out soon anyway. I got her screaming now ... don't know how long she'll last but run's great on 30% and I am over the 1/2 gallon mark as well. Let's see how long this "tracks ass" engine can take the requirements of an on-roader that demands performance!

That's all I do. Feel for when the piston is free of the pinch at the top.

This is what I do. It works with both starterbox and pullstart motors. With a pull start motor after locating BDC you just lightly hold the flywheel while retracting the cord. The flywheel will stay. I always put my motors to BDC after I stop them.
