Yes or no.

I have rotostart...(thats besides the point) i press the button and try to start it and nothing, then it catches quick then nothing.

One way bearing? If so i have an extra. :)
 
As in the roto start handheld device is cutting out on you, or the motor will spin over and then stop? Could be a few things, check the one way first. Are you loosening the glow plug each and every time you try and start it? If not, you'll go through a lot of one ways. Could also be the gear train for the roto start on the back of the motor. If it's not the hand held unit, tear into it and check your one way and go from there.
 
We can't really tell what you mean. Be more specific.
 
lol sorry guys i was in a rush to get out the door...


The roto start handheld works fine. Its when i put the rotostart shaft into the motor, and the motor dosnt turn over. i has to wiggle the car while having it still in the motor and on for it to at least catch.

I'm pulling the whole car apart tonight, ill let you guys know the outcome.
