Kitfox SS won't start

Paul,
...you're way better off than if you had an in flight engine out. Nobody needs that kind of adrenaline rush. Hang in there and you'll get your Foxy fixed.

Totally agree.

I was talking with the Chief Mechanic. He had said that it could do serious damage to the back of the engine if it came apart in flight. That is when I said enough is enough. The good thing I'm alive, and I don't have to go to work and tell my boss I have to take time off, like a lot of you.

What do you want for it!

I wanted to tell about the shinning light from this adventure. I flew home last night to get my truck and the Wing tow kit. This morning after I got up, I got a call from Coley, checking on me and how the plane was running. I was really surprised to hear from him, and his concern. He reminded me that the Kickback I was seeing in the prop concerned him and he said I should have Lockwood or Ronnie at Southern MS Rotax check it out. It is not often you run across someone that nice, & concerned with someone’s welfare. If you are ever find yourself broken down in Mississippi, and need some help Call Coley (601) 573-7617, or Ronnie Smith a great couple of people If you are ever at Southern MS Rotax, give his big black Labrador some attention.

Most Doctors don’t even call to see how you are doing after surgery!

I'm very confused on this whole thing. Are you saying that the starter drive is bad. Why not just order a new starter and have it sent to where the kitfox is and just replace it?

Need to pull the engine to get to the sprag gear.
Here is a you tube video about it. The guys voice is funny, kind of made my day. I’m smiling now.
The video is well worth watching.

Well the saga continues. I went out to the Big Tex rentals to measure the trailer height. The trailer was in the shop needing a inspection, the soonest I can rent it will be next week Monday, how much would you want to bet that Tuesday would be a better date since MLK Day is Monday.
