I was out runnin my Tmaxx today and Sometimes when I roll it the engine kills. Well I rolled it, and it died, and now when I turn it over with the Ez start it doesn't seem to catch. Its just spins. Any help to what this can be?
I was thinking that one of the gears in the easy start maybe was out of alignment or rounded off. Is this common? Please help me out. Thanks guys. :cheers:
 
Honestly my first guess would be to swap out your glow plug.
I had a very similar situation where I ran the vehicle perfectly fine then took it to the race and couldn't get it to start to save my life. Come to find out the last flip I did must have done in my glow plug.

I found the problem. In the Ez start theres a few gears and the main one (Metal bigger one) was a doughnut looking thing in the back of the gear that was busted off. I'm debating just puttin a pull start on it. What do you guys think? Pull start or repair the easy start??
 
I would go the pull start route, personally, but that is just me.
 
i would go with the pull start. if u do go to a pull start u will also have to get a glow starter if u dont already have one.

i would say EZ start but its personal preferrence do what you want not what other people tell you
 
I prefer a pull start as well. It has a few advantages over the EZ start that I can think of:

1) No battery pack to carry around
2) No battery pack to keep charged
3) No battery pack... (think i see a pattern)
4) Pull start is lighter
5) Pull start allows better air flow around the engine
6) A maintained pull start will always work
7) No battery pack to carry around :)

but in place of the battery pack u have the glow starter. but a glow starter weighs less then the battery pack and the push button.

I do aggree that the glow starter on the EZ start BLOWS that is why i cut it off and use a glow ignitor but i still preferr the EZ start
