M_goerler 8 Posted April 2 Not that I know of it don't look like it I know he said he changed the starter once and it didn't fix the problem and I changed it a again thinking he might have gotten a bad one does it have a throw out gear for startor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a bit to turn over that Rincon engine. You need a good strong battery on them or they won't shift right either; the computer and all the electronic stuff on them uses a lot of juice.
