Default I'm having problems with an electric start gas engine

I have a EME 35cc gas engine with electric start and after just a few starts the small electric motor seized. I am using a 3 cell 30c Lipo as the starting battery for the engine. It started ok the first couple of times...then the electric motor started to smoke and then seized. The engine runs great, no issues there, but the electric motor needs replaced.

Where do I get a replacement electric start motor, or is there a better option to use in replacement of the electric motor that came with the engine.

Any advise would be welcome.
Thanks and Aloha,
Bob Paris

I would get in touch with Mike over at Mile High RC in Colorado. He is one of our suppliers for all of our movie planes.
They also do in-house service for your exact engine. He can diagnose it with 100% accuracy. They sell your starter and other great items you will
need from time to time.
