Sorry to ask but I just spent 15 minutes looking for an oil filter that isn't there!!!! LOL. I tried banging on the starter with a hammer, no help there. Can any of you amazing stoveheads give me a fix before I pull the starter? I just got this in the garage last night, and I'm pretty stoked to get her started. Thanks.

Look for a round pedal just to the right of the gas pedal? Press it all the way down and engage the start button/ key again. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 178 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 178 | I do, and was wondering the same. Pressing the switch on the starter itself results in a spin, without engagement. Am I so stupid that I should have pressed the button on the cab floor? All I have done is pressed the switch on the top of the starter. WTF. Lets try again now that I removed the starter and lubricated it. If you don't hear from me, you know I am an idiot.

Everyone is born a pants pooping, drooling idiot. Then we learn to do things right. Then we get old and become pants pooping, drooling idiots. It is the cycle of life. BTW, I haven't pooped my pants in months.
