Electric start

[Jwestie15]

Anyone use the electric start Skyhawk yet? Thinking about getting one for a pedal deleted shifter, does it break alot? How reliable is it?

You'll need to carry a drill with you to start it.

 

[Jwestie15]

Really?

 

[CrazyDan]

Are you talking about the bullet train or skyhawk gta5 with the electric start? The bullet train has a starter motor, the electric start gta5 has a hole in the clutch covor to electric start it with a drill.

 

[CrazyDan]

Its not worth the extra price imo since you can just drill your own hole.

You'll need a specialised socket with a built in ratcheting system to run the drill start gta5

The bullet train I was confused can you even get the bt on a shifter?

Weld this onto your crank nut:

Then drill a 3/4" access hole, stick your drill attachment into the welded adaptor.

Now you're ready to have your 18v cordless drill spin your engine!

Why not just go with a pull start 4-stroke engine?
If you don't have pedals it's perfect.

Weight savings was my reasoning for going 2 cycle I'm just going to save for a denardis 40cc and weld some tabs to the shifter jackshaft mount thing for mounting
