I have a T-maxx 3.3 and i hadnt run it in about 3-5 months. i started it the other day because I'm about to sell it. it started fine after a few pulls and ran great. then the next day i went to a family gathering and they all wanted to see it run but it wouldnt FRICKEN start.:angry: i heated up the engine and still nothing. after about five minutes of pulling and heating the pullstart would not retract normally. i could get it to retract with some finagling put it would work right. i took out the spark plug and pull the pullstart and it worked perfetly fine. the truck didnt sell so I'm going to sell it in the spring instead which means i need to get it running before the snow comes.
thanks in advance
 
if when u remove pullstarter and that w orks fine alone it would mean your one way bearing is shot,try to clean it first with rubbing alcohol the purpose of this is to get all the oil/gunk out of it, then dry it completely and use a qtip to apply thin layer of thin oil like marvel if this dont solve your problem simply get a new one
