I just saw a setup on ebay for a rear setup. Looked very close to the blaster mounting setup. Please let me know if you get anywhere on this. I'm going to start looking into it. ATC.

pull the flywheel off and check the key that holds it in place on the crank shaft. this requires a flywheel puller since it's pressed on by the nut. my guess is the key either stuck to the magnet when installing or its been sheered off. (Especially if it backfires when you try to kick it.)...
