Hey there. I am new to mud motors and I decided since im new to them I wanted something inexpensive to get me started. Seen a lot of guys get the mini SPS longtail and a predator 212cc engine from harbor freight. The motor has no problems starting up without the tail itself on. However once I put the tail on, it doesn't start. It will want to start but dies within 3 seconds. Is there something I am doing wrong? I even let the engine run 10 min to start working on breaking it in thinking that was the issue but it wasn't. Thanks for any help I get.

I figured it out... I feel dumb. I put my longtail shaft level and there she goes.
