Having problems with Schumacher rascal 2 pullstart

[Kelvin1991]

As per title. I bought a Schumacher r18 pullstart and it doesn't line up with the holes on the backplate, two things come to mind

1) wrong pullstart

2) the previous owner has used the earlier x18 back plate

Has anyone had any issues like this?

What colour is the plate?

[Kelvin1991]

Plate is silver, Im a bit confused by the setup, it has like a little pin that engages the bearing, if I pull the pull start the main shaft slowly goes up and eventually the pullstart won't engage. In theory this little pin (which is spring loaded) needs to be longer, I don't know if its broken....

The engine is an R18 engine if that's any help....

 

cheers

when I bought a new pull start for my rascal 1 I got the x18 and the pull start plate was purple. I thing you might have the wrong pull start.

Well I bought one for the R18 engine from modelsport, I'll take some pictures and show you what I mean, unless someone can show me a picture of their engine??

Yeah I have that engine in my riot, in my rascal 2 I've got the later engine the setup is completely different

Managed to sort the problem, ive ran it through one tank (running in - to be on the safe side) sounds quite nice, gonna be pretty quick when set up
