Team Infinity 18 Pull Start Engine Problems?

[Jake949]

Well as i was breaking in my nitro buggy, the engine cut out for no particular reason. When i got home my father told me the clutch was sticking, so i soon sorted that out, but now the pull start wont turn the engine over.
Any ideas what this could be?
It is nothing to do with the actual pull start as this has been tested by a friend on his rc car and works fine.

Is there a one way bearing? That could be slippin'. When you ask a question, you need to tell us what kind of vehicle you have, model, how old it is, ect... Never too much info. Let us know everything pertaining to your problem.

The one way bearing is fine.
it is a condor self build nitro buggy, it is only 1 week old.

Piston is stuck at the top of the sleeve. Remove the glow plug. Get the engine as close to 200F as you can with a heat gun or hairdryer. Of course the engine needs to be removed for this. Then rotate the flywheel with some pliers. It should break free and you can continue the breakin.
