Quick and Dirty: Vittorazi Moster 185 Pull Start Troubleshoot
Vložit

- Here is a quick and dirty video featuring a Vittorazi Moster 185 Plus pull start assembly (MP041) that is not recoiling properly and not engaging the plastic hooks (MP055). We found the easy start spring (MP053) worked it's way out adding pressure to the shims, hooks, and elastic ring. This made the starter not spin freely. We reset the spring and green lining then rebuilt the starter with a MP054 kit. If works smooth now.
We know this isn't the cure for all mishaps with the starter assembly. We recommend to clean and inspect all parts. Sand and debris can also cause issues. Thank you for watching.

Good content! These Vittorazi Moster 185 recoil starters are certainly a weak link, if not a complete nightmare! I've found that they need constant maintenance. Another issue is that the recoil spring will sometimes break, or become disengaged from the retainer, allowing it to just spin in place, and not create any tension. Uuuggghhh!!!
Thank you for watching! I was just rebuilding a starter and the MP051 spring failed. Our goal is to save people money by showing how to rebuild them. I hope all is well! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Please reach out if you need anything! -Kyle
It's pawls but who's counting as long as the Moster is fit to fly!! 😊👍🏼thank you for the vid..
Thank you for watching! I get nevous on camera. lol. Have a great week! -Kyle
Ah ..you do the hard bit by being on camera...we have the easy bit by just giving comments...😁👍🏼keep up with the great vids..😊
This a super nice explanation ✌️
Thank you for watching. We have more videos covering this topic if you need additional details. Have a great day!!
Thanks for posting! I spent many hours trying to figure out this problem. I did not realize the spring under the Paws Was is the problem. I kept looking at the recoil spring. Should be an easy fix in the future!
Keep us posted! We are always happy to take a call 8779336774 or email info@skysportsUSA.net
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. My new machine almost has 4 hours on it and it looks like this is on my agenda today. Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to follow up with you. Were you able to get your pull start assembly all dialed in? -Kyle
@@skysportsusa5010 Sorry for the late reply brother. It's a rinse and repeat operation. I believe that the Easy Start spring is creeping out. Tired of fooling with it and going to try my luck with a new starter. 🤞
@@NCPPGpilot thank you for the update. Please keep us posted. Have an awesome weekend! -Kyle
Great video Kyle. I don’t even own a Moster (yet 😉) but I love tearing things apart to see what makes them work. So thanks for making the video.
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you had a great weekend.
Thanks so much for this video and all that you guys do!
Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend!
Great info, thanks for posting this. Exactly what I've been fighting last few weeks.
We are happy to help. Please keep us posted!
Excellent, to the point and simple. Thanks a lot team SkySportsUSA.
Thank you for watching. Have a great rest of your week and weekend!
Fantastic video...very well done! Very helpful!!! 5 star!
Thank you for the kind words!!!! We really appreciate it! Have a great day.
Awesome video Kyle. Excellent video, clearly shows the issue and the fix. Good job, this will be helpful to many people.Thank you. Subbed
Thank you for the kind words and the sub. We really appreciate it!
Great video Kyle! Unfortunately that issue got widespread recently and many people lost flying time until they got the warranty part. We will be sending some of the faulty starters to Vittorazi to examine and hopefully fix it up asap. We will also be happy to show that to some customers experiencing the same issue and want to get back in the air. Cheers!

Thank you for the kind words and for watching. Please keep us posted with your findings. Have a great weekend!
@@skysportsusa5010 yeah this starter need to be checked. mine broke 3 times at different parts. my engine have less than 6 hours! first i thought its my fault. but at the end its a starter. you pull it. release it quickly and the engine is running.
Thanks for video, Kyle. My starter has broken in flight. Loose center bolt and backlash appeared and almost complete internal destruction occurred. You need to twist it tightly and keep an eye on it. Engine running 47FH.
Thank you for watching. I'm sorry to hear your starter failed. What year is your Moster 185?
@@skysportsusa5010 No problem=) Moster+ 2020
I found out it is possible to put the spring clip on backwards/upside down. If your pawls aren’t engaging as expected, flip the clip.
Good morning! Thank you for watching! I have absolutely run into this. That is a great tip and I should have mentioned it in the video. -Kyle
I had this exact issue. The pull cord was not retracting. The fix you show in this video did not help me totally. What I did was add a couple of the metal shim rings on the bottom of the X cross base piece to give a little space between the (MP041) assembly and the base. I did this at 3:54 according to your instructions. That's the point where it was getting caught up. After that it worked fine.
Hey! Thank you for sharing and for watching! Did you take any photos of what your MP042 starter structure and MP052 plastic pulley looked like? Shoot us an email to Info@SkySportsUSA.net with any photos. We would like to see if we can identify why you had to add shims there. Thanks, Kyle!
Great video! I keep having issues with my pull cord! I think I might have figured out what it is
Good morning!! When you take it apart please email us some photos. We would be happy to help troubleshoot it. -Kyle
@@skysportsusa5010 thanks Kyle! So the other day when I was on the beach, I want to go start it, and I heard the clip come off and rubbing against the plastic and it was making a real loud noise and I only knew that was happening because it happened once before I took it apart and saw the clip off But when I want to go full throttle it on the beach, the clip must’ve fell back into place because that noise went away but I think something else is going on with the set up itself. I’m hoping to have the time today or tomorrow to take it all apart. Thank you for getting back to me. I will for sure be emailing you pictures and sending videos.
Oddly similar to my weedwacker!
Hello.
The MP053 spring of my pull starter has broken and I just ordered a new one. Can you please explain what is the procedure to replace it?
Thanks ;)
Thanks for the question. Sorry you found a broken spring. The replacement you will receive is pre wound and tied in place with a wire. So... remove the old one and slide the new one in, making sure to locate the keeper tang in its slot. Then just evenly tap it down and into place. Please reach out if you have any other questions. Happy to help wherever we can! Thank you for your business!!! - Kris
green liner?
