This is yet another pull start, which had one of the springs that hold the paw inwards fail, this left lots of little wirey spring-thick needles in my magneto housing. The magneto reads 0 across the joints and is an open circuit, meaning it's dead.

The small tab the prevents the arms from going further inward snapped off as well, it probably turned into that metallic dust that's coating the mag and casing.

f*** these s**t.

Time to build a better pull start.
 
Oh sorry I should have elaborated a bit more.

I'm kind of positive the metal crap shorted the magneto out somehow and burned a connection. I only believe this to be true since I didn't allow water in the thing and it started up just fine last time I successfully got it going. I didn't even ride it I was only getting it up to check idle speed with a new jet. Come a week later and it won't start regardless of what I do.

These pull starts had 6 or 7 years to evolve and somehow they didn't, in fact the newer ones are even worse since they thought it better to spice it up with extra springs and plastic parts that strip and crack on the 2nd pull.. But they did add 3 horizontal lines to the outside of the cover so at least they tried to make it less ugly as s**t.
 
I think they should take every c**t bastard who put any f***ing time towards manufacturing one of these s**tty f***ing dickless b**ch hole of a wank stain pull starters and gouge out their reeking beady bloody sorry-ass eyes with a pitchfork and shove it up their motherf***ing assholes, pitchfork and all but 2 pull starter kits so I have one to strangle them with and one to beat them over the head as I do so!

some folks do that with a solid center stand
I was going to say the same thing, if you have a jackshaft set up then you're better off spending less time and effort to just put a good centerstand in place, just throw the rear wheel to get it moving and use the pedals to "kick start" the motor.

I usually just lift the rear wheel with my right hand on the seat and clutch with my left. I get the wheel rolling by pedaling with the clutch in, then let it go and give it a smooth but firm press on the pedal and it starts up.

I would like to use a pull start but slowly losing any hope to do so, currently in the redesign department.
 
I made this and it works pretty good. For back axle.
