heres the deal. the teeth on the starter gear stripped off after 10 months of ownership. upon replacing the starter it ate the teeth again after 4 days. i opened it up and found no problems so far, and no one i talked to had really heard of this happening before. one guy said possible bent crank, while another said maybe the compressin release isnt functioning, but no one really seems to have any real confidence. just wondering if anyone else had something before i tear more a part than i have to.
