I've got a raven 2 with 18 hours on clock. I have found that on starting, the blades will start rotating with clutch disengaged. Im putting this down to the clutch belts being tight as it is still very new. Is this normal or should I be getting something done?
Consequently it can be a **** to start and I find myself with the starter button pressed with mixture full in as the drag of the blades keeps stalling the engine. Am I doing some damage to my ring gear by doing this then? What is ring gear anyway?
