I know this has probally been asked before but....
Upon trying to start my savage with my roto start it seemed the starter wasn't catching, so when I got home I checked the OWB and it was was cracked so I figured that was my problem.
I bought and put on a new OWB but had the same problem, it seems the OWB is slipping. So I took off the f4.6 starting back plate again and did notice a small amount of fuel had leaked on to the starting shaft, I thought this could be making the OWB slip,So I took off the starter shaft soaked it in carb cleaner dried it off and also roughened it up length way with some wire wool to give the OWB more grip on the shaft. I put it all back together, but I'm still having the same problem of it slipping at high RPM starting.
The engine is still quite new, so how would the starting shaft be worn if that is the problem,
In peoples opinion, do I need to buy a new starting shaft?
Thank you for your help guys
