Hi All, I have two Thor 130 and love the flash start setup, haven't had any trouble with the rope coming out, but one issue is am experiencing is I keep breaking the main starting spring, seem to get around 30-40 hrs out of a spring,have gone through 3 so far.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Have got a bit of excessive wear on one engines flash starter pawls and support plate but I think this is due to being a bit heavy on the pull cord, have found it take a bit to get the brain re programmed to use the flash starter gently as it not like a conventional pull starter all the pull cord is doing is winding up a spring, until it overcomes the compression of the engine.
If I could sort the spring breaking issue out I will be happy.
