I got a pull starter from gasbike, and I installed it...... now the only problem I have is I don’t know how to start it up, does anyone have directions on how to pull start an 80cc engine
The clutch needs to be disengaged by pulling in the clutch handle. You should be able to pull start it then. Don't rip on it, pull it out to where it engages then give it a steady pull. Ripping on it will break it...…...…..clutch has a lock pin I see.
I'm a fan of pull starts. I've always used one. Been through about 5 of em total. I think I had an old post about modifying one.

If you look at the first picture you can see that there was some major rubbing going on. At first I thought it was the outer cups of the insert that goes over the magnet. I was wrong. What rubs on these things is the two big bolt heads on that piece which you can see in the second picture. I ran...
