Yeah a couple months ago the engine kicked back & grabbed the pull rope & about ripped my arm off!!!

It was brutal on the shoulder & fingers!

On the Hurst it was more of the old style pulley with a notch in it, It didn't stick out the side like the cup for a recoil.

My 1.5 hp widd do that just about every tiem because there is no compression release. You have to get it at tdc or it will rip you around.

Ha ha, sounds like you need "pipes" repair.

I need to pull it out and fire it back up. The pickup tube was pretty clogged when I got it so it would starvw for fuel above idle. I pulled the carb and rebuilt it but I never could get the tube un clogged. I was gonna get a new tube but i never got around to it

The last crash I had on my dual sport made me feel like that. It was a couple of years ago, and wasn't even that bad as far as crashes go, but it was just rough enough that I spent a week being sore in a bunch of random places. If you have no more swelling then put yourself in a hot bath and soak for a bit. Makes a difference.

I've went down hard on a descent downhill mountain biking a year or so ago, ER visit to sew elbow up, but nothing broken. I think the weight lifting helped the durability of my upper body, usually when you go down in your 60's something breaks. I do mild single track on the mountain bike now, no more down hill, but you still hit the dirt once in a while, but a lot slower. I felt tweaked for a few months after that fall.

Glad to hear that you are ok and able to tell the tale. The out come could have been much worse as I'm sure you are aware.
