Fighting our 165 right now as well. Ours has the continental gasser in it. It'll pop once and then that's it, nothing else. The starter we found was loose after removing the weather break. After bolting it tight again it just seemed to drag so Dad got a rebuilt one from the local rebuilder ($175 but in stock, NOW, today, no waiting) and it spins faster, but still no go.
