The Changfa clone arrived on Friday, took it to the farm and unpacked it on Saturday. it is a monstor, very big, very heavy. Did some cursory checks, oiled and fueled it up, attempted a hand crank start. Hand crank starting this engine is just stupid, after several attempts and one kick back, it seems like the flywheel is unable to carry over the compression stroke, I spin it as fast as I can, then drop the decompression valve and continue to crank, it hits compression and bounces back. It bounced back so hard that I pulled something in my wrist.
After several failed attempts to hand start it, I decided to hook up the electric start, this does the same thing, gets to the compression stroke and stops the starter. I spin it as fast as the starter can go, the flip the decompression and it literally stops the starter. I am thinking the starter could be 24volts?
