Have you guys tried using a turkey baster or something to kinda 'push' some water on the propellor to give it a bit of a winding start? I believe these things work on electromagnets, so maybe something wasnt lined up properly.

(Or maybe it's cuz I just watched the DVD Flyboys, and remember them push starting the propellors of their old airplanes :P)
