Are you sure the plug is good? It might not be heating up.

Your one way bearing is slipping. Take it out and clean the bearing and the shaft with denatured alcohol.

I would concur with rolex on the owb being first check, however if you already had it open and checked it then you might want to also take a close at the cush pads in your ez start. I have not personaly experienced their failure but have read where the cush pads fail and give symptoms of a owb bearing failure.

Thats a new one on me, CPT. Will have to check that out with my T-Maxx guru nephew, but sounds solid to me!

let me know what you find out. If it's not sound, i feel silly with a spare set of cush pads in my kit.

Uhhhhh.....the only cush pads I know of are the ones that caress my Savage when I'm working on it.

Seriously, what are cush pads?
