Hi .. I am 67 and retired - a lifelong model plane builder - used to be nitro now all electric ...Just finished a scratch built 1/10th scale 2 seat Spitfire
I have never owned a nitro car but during lockdown I have been fettling all kinds of stuff in my workshop and recently my son in law produced a car from his loft for me to ‘play’ with ...
it was a Land Ranger like this one ..
Kyosho GS11X motor with a pull starter ..
Appvalley
that’s a new concept to me ..
Everything is fine - stripped it down and cleaned it all - 27mhz radio works fine - engine seems clean and turns well ..
BUT .. the pull starter had no string in it ..
went to YouTube and learned how to restring and done that with high strength 1mm kite string and it pulls a treat but doesn’t want to recoil.
it works absolutely fine off the motor and recoils well - but on the backplate it has this non-recoil issue - engine plug is out too to reduce compression ...
I suspected that the knot was catching on the backplate screws so put a spacer washer in - no difference ..
Very little info out there on GS11X or GS pull start - any replacements available anywhere ..??
Mine is a GS with a red casing and a red reel inside ..
Tweakbox
Any ideas ??
Perhaps even refer me to someone else or A N Other place??
thanks
